Gentlemen,
My '06 Macbook Pro has been a most reliable workinghorse and I do expect it to run for some time yet –*however, the optic drive is start to show some wear and tear, possibly due to me having used it pretty much for listening to music (that is, wearing it out more than would be ideal).
In fact, it has always rejected a couple music CDs (it seems those a bit thicker), but now it also starts rejecting data DVDs and this concerns me more.
Before opting to replace the optic drive, there's some firmware available? I sought a bit on apple.com but didn't find a precise optic drive firmware update, and otherwise the machine works wonderfully so I don't want to do unnecessary installations.
OSX 10.4.11
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080M, Firmware Revision AA26
Thanks in advance for any suggestions & pleasant holidays,
Tim
