[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 781254, member: 56231"] "Oh dear, not another one" :( [size=1][I sometimes think I should keep a record of the number of Matshita failures in Macs][/size]. Your optical drive problem *may* be fixable with a commercial lens cleaning disk, but since the laser works on CDs, that's unlikely. If you're going to replace the drive, and that does look likely, then try to get a Pioneer KO6, or its successor, the KO8. Sony also make a slim CD drive. [/QUOTE]
