So I finally got myself a somewhat used G5 dual power mac. It runs fine overall, no problems setting it up, but I haven't used the optical drive in the two weeks I've had it.
Now when I try to open the drive the metal door on the front of the case is just a half centimeter out of alignment so that the top of the metal door hits the bottom of the mesh. I can hear the superdrive drive trying to open, but it pushes the metal door, which won't open and stops.
I've tried taking out the drive and seeing if I can move the door, but it won't seem to budge. Anyone know of a solution to this? Can I somehow remove the external metal door?
I've never pocked around inside a mac so I'm a little bit apprehensive about breaking things.
