Members ToeJamFootball Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 My Room mate has an iBook G4, and recently the Combo drive stopped working. It won't accept any discs at all. It just spits them all out straight away. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I have searched the web, and have come across a few people who have the same problem, but no-one has answered them - and this is on the Mac forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 You could try a DVD cleaner. I was having issues with the drive in my MacBook Pro a few weeks back, it refused to recognize blank CD's. Picked up a DVD lens cleaning disk for $10, ran it, problem solved!

Cool, thanks, I will give it a go. This did start with rejecting blank CDs, now it's any disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds exactly like what I was going through. Let me know how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did yours just sit with the disc in there for a little while, then spit it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
