dead cd drive?`

Post by **S@M** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 6:58 am

cds dont load anymore,
sounds like it trys to spin them, but then spits em out after about 30 seconds.
Is it dying?

is there a firmware or something else that might help?
im on iMac g3, os10.3.9. its the good ol slot loading type.

worst case scenario you get an external cd drive (get a firewire one) that runs cds a hell of a lot faster, and it won't even be that expensive. but did you just do any sort up mac update recently?

You can replace the internal drive.
