- imac G3 450MHZ 512 RAM DVD
Hey guys, got a strange error here.
I have a ruby 450MHZ iMac G3 with a slot loading DVD drive.
Very recently it stopped playing Audio CDs, as far as I can see they aren't mounted. When I press the eject on my keyboard nothing happens, the discs aren't in finder or the desktop.
I end up having to use a paperclip to get the manual eject button.
Today I got a little sick of the iMac (Wishing I had bought a 1.25or soGHZ eMac. I opened the iMac up and poked my nose around, after being blasted with the scent of the early 2000s (Yummy!) I noticed nothing seem wrong with the IDE cable and considering the cable also conects the hardrive I think i'd know if it wasn't working.
I was looking up DVD drives on ebay when I had the idea of trying a DVD video in the mac, it booted up, no problem, mounted on the desktop, finder, played and then ejected - all perfect no problem.
This is in OS X 3.9 Panther
So my Audio CDs aren't working but my DVD videos are, could this be something I isntalled? Whats going on? I'm not sure what I should be doing to even look into thsi problem further.
Thanks very much in advance, any help is welcome (Even if you're telling me how good your eMac is, haha)
