[QUOTE="Queensgate555, post: 1574107, member: 293407"] I went to Powerbookmedic.com and I checked the cross reference guide and, they check back to the A1150 model I went to Google and did a search on the individual part numbers on the drives and, they again come back to the A1150 model. The possibility of all three drives being bad, causing the same symptoms when connected to the board looks more to the probability of the board having a problem. I have a portable USB optical drive; I hooked it up to my A1178 MBP and, it see and plays DVD, no sweat so, I hook the portable unit up to the A1150 model and, it see the portable drive but, it will not play the disc ...Failed to initialize, no recognized drive....yadda, yadda, yadda. User to user help works most of the time but, if I had technical documentation in my hands, I could come to some real conclusions. . [/QUOTE]
