[QUOTE="d2y, post: 1013437, member: 146713"] [b]same issue[/b] I bought an iMac 20" (mid 2007) for my elderly mother. She uses it for email and web surfing. She has used the superdrive perhaps 10 times in the 2 years or so she has had the computer. The other day she put in a music CD. Nothing happened. Same issues as above. It is as though the drive is not in the computer. Does not appear in system profiler. I regularly download software/OS updates. I am wondering as well if the drive has been rendered inop due to OS update error. So I am faced with a potential $300 repair bill at Apple store (part & labor) or buy the drive online ($70) and risk replacing the drive myself. But now reading the latest posts, I am wondering if my new drive (assuming I survive the self-repair) will fix the problem. Frustrating [/QUOTE]
