Cd's don't burn right anymore - last 2 or 3 cuts tend to skip... could barely load Leopard from cd-ROM w/out it failing... now cannot burn a disk image to dvd - get error each time about laser power insufficient for the drive.

What should I do? Does Apple replace these drives? (iMac early 2006 20"). Wonder how much $ to replace or repair?

Have you tried ebay? Buying the drive from Apple, if they will just sell you one is not going to be cheap!
