[QUOTE="CyCo_CyBorG, post: 16981"] hi i got a PB G4 15" for about a month now (with OS X Panther) and a combo drive (not the superdrive) and since about one week it won't read CD's/CDR's/CDRW's anymore, only DVD discs if i insert a cd, it chews on it for about 5 seconds and spits it out again, even the install cd for my airport extreme base station but dvd's it will accept and read (i tested a few movie DVD's, a self made DVD-R from my university, and the install DVD for OS X that came with the PB) wath is wrong here? and how do i fix it? (i'm looking for the tech support email from the shop i bought it, but there contact page on the site is down) this is rather unconvenient, because i do want to use my cd writer, and i have a rather large collection of divx on CD that i really want to keep (i posted this here because my problem is similar to this one) thx [/QUOTE]
