[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1650984, member: 234411"] Hi - in checking [URL="http://www.mactracker.ca"]Mactracker[/URL] for your model, the computer has a slot-loading 8X optical drive - correct? I'm assuming that it worked early on? Could just be finicky optical blanks, as already suggested, but you might try a can of compressed air w/ some gentle puffs into the slot - could be a dust/debris issue after a half dozen years? If still an issue and if optical storage is important in your backup plan, then an inexpensive external optical drive would be another option. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
