One solution to jammed discs in laptop Macs
Authored by: dwf on Aug 03, '07 08:16:37AM

I had a big problem with my iBook G4 jamming almost every disc, but I think that was the case's fault rather than the discs themselves. My solution: use a plastic pen cap from a Bic pen, insert the part that is used to clip a pen to your shirt pocket just slightly into the gap, and then rotate it in order to prop the gap open a little further. Worked every time and never caused any damage (the pen caps got a little worn though).
