I've got your site bookmarked, I'll have to wait a while to get some cash together. The ones noted earlier in this thread sold for considerably less; as much as $89 in one case. Glad to know they are still available though. Joe Ellis On 11/16/02 10:44 PM, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Pismo DVD/CD drive death...

The Pismo drive, particularly the LG version, is pretty notorious for failing early in life. We see many in for repairs, and unfortunately, it is not an item which can be "rebuilt".. The motor fails and the result is that the head will not read more than a few times without losing tracks or tim
