[QUOTE="bremln, post: 65391"] About a week after my one year warranty ended, the hard drive in my iBook died. After about 50 tries, the hard drive booted up, and I was able to use Carbon Copy Cloner to back everything up onto an external drive. So I've been booting off the external drive for over a month now, and everything seemed to be going ok. However, today my combo drive died. When I insert a CD, it thinks about doing something with it and then spits it back out. Also, the trackpad has never worked correctly, but I use a mouse, so I never really worried about it. Anyone know if this is a common problem with iBook G4s? I found a few cases online where people had the same thing happen to them, but I was wondering if this was a widespread problem. [/QUOTE]
