[QUOTE="Elwing, post: 223926, member: 18185"] Thanks guys! UK price-wise, it's looking like a close knit thing between 14" iBook G4 spares/repair job on eBay and just a standalone SuperDrive component, and it seems as though the SuperDrive from the 14" might well work in the 12", if I'm reading the links correctly. This x8 speed UJ-845-C SuperDrive, that will work in the 12", is supposed to replace the x4 speed UJ-825-C, which works in the 14". I'm definately after the Apple branded version, for assured compatibility and the proper face-plate thingy. I also found this US-based link: [url]http://www.ifixit.com/cart/customer/product.php?productid=1242&cat=&page=1[/url] Guess I'll be letting you know for sure if this works or not in about 12 months time! :-) Thanks once again for the head start in this!
