Sometimes there's a screw loose
Authored by: Johan Edstrom on Aug 03, '07 01:23:38PM

I have seen PB G4s loosing one screw holding the DVD/CD drive. This screw has then blocked the slot of the drive since it's stuck between the drive and the slot. This screw can be removed with tweezers but since the drive is loose you really need to take the machine apart and re-fit the screw. Otherwise the drive will be misaligned to the slot causing further problems.

Force ejecting on start up by holding down mouse click or pad click takes care of most stuck CD's and DVD's.
