DVD drive might be damaged have question

I dropped my ibook g4 recently, and since then, my DVD drive is not working properly. Half the time it does not recognize disks, makes a loud noise, and ejects them. Other times it works. I think the fall might have damaged it. Is it possible to replace it, and how much would it cost? Could I replace it myself?

Turn the machine on it's side and try shaking them out. You can also see if You Tube has any videos on how to do this, they certainly do for folks that have SD cards in theirs. Removing coins should be similar.

  • Stuck: Need Disk repair but DVD drive dead and only have USB 1

    [1 Ghz flat-panel iMac with USB 1 ports (no USB 2) and also Firewire 400]
    I noticed a strange discrepancy (small but concerning) between the size of a folder on hard drive (folder of all mp3's with no subfolders) and the backup of the same folder on a mounted thumb drive.
    (The size difference was not due to any invisible .DS_Store files and both folders are displayed in List view format.)
    Disk Utility reports three things:
    1. Incorrect number of thread records
    2. Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
    3. Checking volume information.
              Volume free block count",0)   [I might have mangled this line]
    (It should be 13438611 instead of 13437937)
    Here is the GOOD (but these are useless as explained under the "Bad"):
    - I have a Tiger 10.4 boot DVD for a repair ==>but see below
    - I also have a Disk Warrior disk (never used)
    Here is the BAD:
    - My built-in optical drive [Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-105] is -- I now discover - defunct and DEAD - it does not run the Tiger Boot DVD (in pristine shape).
    - I bought an external SuperDrive (unopened) but I believe no boot from USB 1 is possible in PowerPC so a SuperDrive with USB 1 is useless.
    Questions:
    1.) Is there any way to boot from some external source (optical drive is DEAD) to run Disk Utility and/or Disk Warrior? -- I see none in this case! (gulp).
    2.) More importantly (and this is my fundamental concern): Do the three Disk Utility hard drive issues constitute any direct threat to the integrity of my files?
    I have almost everything backed up to duplicate thumb drives over these many months as standard practice.
    Are these Disk Utility errors fully isolated to hard drive directory-keeping...or do these directory damage errors pose the possibility of mangling or harming my files or their metadata (filesize, etc.).
    Put another way, when files are backed-up from a hard drive under the Disk Utility reports above, do they remain unharmed and undamaged by the situations reported by Disk Utility?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Jeff and Michael,
    Thank you both for your generous and thoughtful input.
    Michael: As I slept on it overnight, the exact same idea occurred to me of trying a Target Mode to the iMac from my Lion MacbookPro (I have it but stupidly have yet to use it much!).
    I did buy a Firewire 800 (MBP) to Firewire 400 (iMac) adapter cable a few months ago!
    CONCERN: Would there be potential compatibility issues or risks in running Lion 10.7's Disk Utility against the hard drive of the old OSX 10.4 iMac in Target Disk Mode?
    ==> Assuming an "it's ok" answer to the Target Disk question, would the majority of users agree that the Target Disk Mode would be more prudent than running:
    fsck -fy   in Single User Mode
    I have never done fsck -fy before especially because I was under the impression there were issues with Journaled drived but from what I have read today...it looks ok to do)
    Jeff: Can't thank you enough for the reference to the OTW DVD drive. I might first invest $10 in one of those DVD lens cleaner disks that I've read about. It's probably not the issue or else why would the drive read commercial Music cds perfectly well!
    Thanks,
    Bilil

  • HT1539 How do I redeem my Digital Copy if I have a Retina Macbook Pro with no DVD drive?  Apple should have fixed this by now!

    I have a Retina Macbook Pro, but iTunes is asking me to insert a disc.  Well, I can't.  Why has Apple not fixed this.  I want to enter my code and get my movie.

    I know that this isn't a real solution for your computer, but the digital copy is tied to your Apple ID. So if you have another Mac, you can redeem it on that Mac, then download the movie to your Retina MBP (Movies in the Cloud FTW).
    If you don't own another Mac yourself, find a friend's computer, log out of his iTunes (or make a new user account), log into your Apple ID within iTunes, Authorize iTunes, then insert the DVD and redeem it. I redeemed Skyfall & Frankenweenie from an iMac at work just to see if it works, which it does. Heck, I don't think they even need a Mac, a PC running iTunes should work!

  • New Hard Drive and trying to reinstall OS. Have Hp Recovery Discs but DVD drive broke

    Hi to all,
     I just put a new hard drive in my HP Dv7. I also ordered recovery discs. When I tried to put the disc in I then found out my  DVD drive is not working
    My question is can I transfer the recovery disc to a USB flash drive and then boot from there? 
    I would appreciate any insight!!
    Thank you in advance,
    Marc
    This question was solved.

    You cannot copy from recovery DVD to USB.
    What is the problem with the drive, do you have a boot DVD to try?

  • HT1539 I have the new imac and it does not have a dvd drive. How can I download digital copy of a movie?

    Some Blu rays and DVDs come with digital copies and you inset them into the dvd drive and it downloads the movie to itunes and then you can put them on any iDevice. The new iMac does not have a dvd or disc drive. What can I do?

    You will either need to borrow or purchase an external DVD drive, or if you have access to another computer that has a DVD drive you may be able to use Remote Disk:

  • Have a new iMac.  can i use my old mini as an external cd/dvd drive?

    Just got my new imac and have discovered it is without a cd/dvd drive.  Since I have converted from a mac mini can I use the old mini as an external drive, and how do I do that if the response is yes?

    I use LaCie.
    My last cd/dvd burner was a LaCie, and it worked perfectly for three years before a bronze sculpture fell off a shelf and landed on it, putting a big dent right in the top of the metal case. I thought that would be the end, but it kept working perfectly, dent and all, for another two years before I finally replaced it.
    When my current drive needs to be replaced, that will be a LaCie, too. Same with their external hard drives. And no, I don't work for them.

  • New imac doesnt have a dvd drive, how do i ...?

    so, since the new imac doesnt have a dvd drive what is an alternative way to watch mymovvies and download cd's ? i think apple messed up removing the dvd drive and people that have/will buy thew imac deserve a refund or something to connect to the imac that reads discs or something.

    If you bought an AV on DVD, then it's you who failed to buy the correct product.  You can buy lots of different AVs through download.
    If you needed a computer with a built in DVD drive, then it's you who failed to buy the correct product for your needs, if you weren't willing to buy the seperate DVD drive.
    Keep in mind, you also never payed for a DVD drive in the first place, since the computer's price would have been adjusted accordingly.  So you don't get something for free that you never payed for in the first place.

  • DVD drive not recognized in 466 Graphite SE Clamshell

    Hi,
    Any ideas on why a dvd drive might not be recognized or work in a 466 Graphite SE clamshell. The drive powers up and spins, but no reading. If the drive is 'broke' or 'dirty' wouldn't the system profile still recognize the SR-8175 drive. I don't know how the profiler knows that a drive is there...Also if the connection to the motherboard or the frive ribbon cable is faulty, then would/could it still spin like it wants to read...Any suggestions as to what's up or how to best diagnose...Like what might Apple hardware test disk do (have never done, and might have one around:) Oh this clamshell has a partitioned drive running Panther and Tiger on each...not that such should matter...Help appreciated...Rick

    +Also if the connection to the motherboard or the frive ribbon cable is faulty, then would/could it still spin like it wants to read+
    Hi Rick - It may be that only part of the connection is there. Perhaps it's getting power but not something else? The drive (if guaranteed to be problem free) should have no issues with your ibook. I'm not even sure if using something like 'patchburn' would make a difference or not. I should just work.

  • Installing Tiger with external DVD drive, why won't it work??

    I have been trying to install OS X 10.4.3 from the DVD disk, last time I upgrade the OS I had to go out and buy an external DVD drive because I only have a cd drive in my mac. This worked fine last time but now I'm upgrading again it just won't work.
    I can not get the mac to boot from the DVD, it sees it's there, I've tried holding down c, the alt key, the option key, choosing the DVD as the start up disk and checking the firmware, nothing will work!
    I have read other questions of the same nature but I don't seem to have found an answer.
    Can anyone help me, please??

    imac Power PC G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I'm having the same problem. My mom has a Quicksilver G4 – four years old, but plenty to run Tiger. The only thing is we didn't get the built in DVD player. We got an external firewire DVD but can't get the machine to boot from the disk in the external drive.
    If I try to run the installer I get a (-2) error that Startup Disk can't make the selected drive the boot drive. If I go into Startup I can select the DVD, but upon actual start up it can't find it and I eventually get the folder with the question mark. Holding down option doesn't bring it up in the list and holding down c does absolutely nothing.
    Anybody else?

  • Will a "harvested" DVD drive work?

    A very serious accident had befallen my 15in Titanium PowerBook G4 the other day. Unfortunately, the accident was fatal. Seriously damaged motherboard and TFT display. Repair costs approach the cost of a new 12" Powerbook, so funeral services are scheduled for next week, and delivery of a new 12" Powerbook is scheduled about the same time.
    Fortunately, the old PowerBook had agreed to be an organ donor, so I am harvesting a number of items from it -- hard drive, 802.11b card, DVD drive, and memory. The hard drive was transplanted into an external USB 2.5in hard drive enclosure. The 802.11b card went into my older PowerMac (an M8705LL/A).
    I am wondering about the memory and DVD drive, though. I have a 12" iBook G4 about two years old or so, pretty much bottom of the line, that has a CD-RW and (had been upgraded to) 640MB RAM.
    Could the OEM 128MB be replaced with the 512MB from the Powerbook (assuming that the Powerbook's 512MB memory didn't get fried), upgrading the machine from 640MB to 1GB? Seems I remember reading about a memory limitation on that particular vintage of iBooks, but don't remember where I saw it or what it said about max RAM.
    Could the CD-RW be replaced with the DVD drive? And would rerunning OS10.4.3 combo updater be all that would be required to install the proper DVD drivers on the iBook?
    Thanx in advance for any guidance that anyone can provide.
    12" iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    2001 Quicksilver G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    2001 Quicksilver G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    2001 Quicksilver G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    The RAM from the PowerBook won't work in an iBook G4; those two machines take different RAM types, which have a different number of pins. The slots on one machine won't accomodate RAM designed for the other machine.

  • Samba + Sharing Mac's CD/DVD Drive

    Hello all,
    Okay, this should be simple but I don't think Apple wants me to do what I'm trying to do. I've been looking everywhere for a solution. Here it goes...
    My set up: Using SAMBA to share Mac OS X's /volumes using this samba declaration:
    [Volumes]
    comment = Mac's mounted Volumes
    path = /Volumes
    browseable = yes
    read only = no
    create mode = 755
    Simplistic and gives me access to all mounted volumes on the Mac from my PC.
    One problem though ...
    Running a Windows EXE file from a shared CD/DVD disc on a Windows XP machine. Even the most basic Windows EXE file gives me an permission error:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    Now in case you all are wondering why I'm doing this.. We use a lot of DVD+Rs at work to transfer files and my PC DVD drive does not read DVD+Rs. So I'm using the Mac's DVD drive to read them and share the drive's contents to the PC. Only I need to copy and the entire contents of DVD to the PC's hardrive in order to run an EXE. It starts to get tedious and unnecessary.
    Permissions for the EXE from within Mac OS X:
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 cougar cougar 646840 Sep 23 2005 setup.exe
    Permissions from within Windows XP:
    User 'cougar' and 'everyone' have at least Read and Execute permissions.
    So that's my problem. I'm looking for a way to solve this dilemma.
    Thanks for any suggestions or input in advance,

    Giving up on this poor Question. Guess running Windows binaries from the Mac's DVD drive is out of the question.

  • My DVD drive isn't working and I want to download elements pc 6 with my serial number, how can I do that?

    I have the disc for Ps elements 6 for windows, but my DVD drive isn't working. How can I download with my serial number?

    I'm afraid there is no place to download photoshop elements 6, that i know of anyway.
    (unless you had bought it from adobe as an download, then you could possibly log in to your account and download pse 6)
    What operating system are you using?
    Do you have another computer with a working dvd drive or do you have a flash drive, camera card.
    USB dvd drives are dirt cheap, so if you live near a computer store, that might be an option or if you have a friend that has one you can borrow.

  • Installing Tiger from external DVD drive

    Hi,

  • Windows Vista Home + iTunes = no DVD drives

    I am a long time iTunes user, and have been having an issue with iTunes for the last little while. When I install iTunes (I'm on Windows Vista 32 bit, by the way), after the required restart, my DVD drives' icons disappear (I have 2 of them). I can see the DVD drives in the Device Manager, and they say they cannot start. The only I think I've had these problems since about iTunes 7.0, but I don't burn CDs that often, so I've really not felt too bad about it, except that my wife would like to do so. I've done the registry change where you remove the upper and lower filters, which corrects the drive issue, but then presents the seemingly inevitable Registry issue dialog box, without the option to burn CDs. Here are the steps I've done thus far to try to get my computer and iTunes to play nicely:
    1. Tried reenabling the UpperFilter for GearAspiWDM as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305422
    2. Tried downloading new GEAR drivers from their website.
    3. Tried uninstalling Quicktime, and then installing it separately.
    4. Uninstalled my other music service software (SonicStage), and then reinstalling iTunes.
    5. Completely uninstalled iTunes, and then reinstalled it (a couple of iTunes versions ago).
    6. Tried uninstalling the non-functioning DVD drives in the device manager, and then scanning for hardware changes. When the UpperFilter was still present, this part failed. It passed after I removed the UpperFilter registry entry.
    Please help!
