So far, I have:

Run SMC
Removed the optical drive to look for loose cables, etc.
Blown out the cd slot with air.
Tried several different CDs to no avail.

Any one have some idea(s) as to what else I could do to solve the problem?

Did I mention that I dropped it? Everything else works fine.

It seemed a little weird that a dvd would spin up and play yet CD just spins up, stops, spins up stops and then ejects the disk.

Anyone?

BTW, if anyone has replaced their superdrive before, which I can see as happening here, and can recommend a decent vendor, I would appreciate the info.

Thanks,
Luke

Idk that problem, but mine has done the spin, stop, spin, stop, spit out procedure before for both dvds and cds and apple replaced it under apple care in a day... I assume you don't have an apple store near by?
