G4 iBook optical drive woes
1.07ghz G4 iBook with a combo drive.

I'm pretty much a noob so bear with me.

If I try to insert the cd, the slot is resistant to accept the cd, but then when it does it takes it into the housing and attempts to spin the cd. Then nothing. And then it ejects the cd.

what's goin on here?

cheers

What kind of cd? I had a problem with my 1.0 ghz iBook with a burnt CD because it was slightly thicker than most other cd's.
