[QUOTE="Theo Vavas, post: 1453839, member: 275379"] Dysfunctional (almost dead) DVD Superdrive MacBook Pro My Macbook Pro Super Drive is no longer accepting most DVD's & CD's, the same ones that it used to. It will now only read original software & other DVD's & CD's & it will read DVD cleaners, but everything else it just kicks out. All of my saved work burned on my iBook G-4 DVD's & CD's are ejected & a few data CD's that it does mount it lists them as blanks, even though they were previously burned on the same machine & some on the iBook G-4. My iBook G-4 reads & writes on all the discs that my MacBook Pro rejects. I have tried compressed air, disc cleaners & clean OS re-installs, all to no avail. HELP, PEASE.
