IMAC superdrive does not recognize disks
I have a g4 800mhz imac with a Pioneer 104 superdrive installed.
Suddenly the drive will not recognize and mount cd disks of any kind-cdrs, data cd, dvds. It clicks a little, and after about 30 secs spits the disks out. Similarly when I try to burn using Toast, it does not recognize the blank cd inserted. I do not hear the worling sound of the cd spinning, just some clicks. When I put a disk in, it appears to have moved a bit when it comes out. Because of the complexity of the drive assembly into the imac it is hard to remove.I am not sure if I could remove it I could test it on another machine. It is also hard for me to see if the laser is lighting. I have tried a bit of compressed air, and a radio shack cd cleaning cd. That cd did not mount and thus I do not think it did anything. Is there anything to be done except replace the drive. If I must replace, can I swap in a new Pioneer dvr 106? Many thanks in advance, Phil |
