Mac Combo drive
by cprenegade - 1/8/04 11:21 AMI have a powermac G4 with a combo CD writer/DVD rom drive. The tray is failing and will not load, I think something is wrong with the gear. What brand of this drive does Apple use? I would like to just replace it myself with rather than have it serviced but I am not sure what is compatible to use. Both the apple store and CompUsa tell me they don't sell the drive, I would have to have them put it in. Thanks.

You should be able to find out exactly which one you have using the hardware option on your restore disk, or hardware test disk..

You may want to check the dates on threads you reply since...
Some are quite old.
You advice is still sound and appreciated.
