Oh let me count the ways: (Day.month.year) Computer purchased on 12.1.2001 27.4.2001 Battery will not hold charge. Replaced 5.11.2001 LG-8080B (DVD) stopped mounting DVDs, CDs shortly after. Replaced 13.8.2002 Battery will not hold charge. Replaced along with non-faulty cord 17.12.2002 During my applecare call I stated that the Batt wouldn't hold a charge AND stopped reading DVD/CDs. Applecare said "I will have the tech look at the motherboard". BATTERY REPLACED ONLY 03.01.2003 DVD still broke from before, sent it in again. DVD Replaced 3 battery replacements, 2 DVD replacements 20.2.2003 I used the S-Video out (for the first time) and my 512 Dimm turned into a 256 Dimm. Reseating the DIMM and zapping PRAM fixes it for a few hours, until it freezes hard. OS9 Boot says "Built in memory tests failed. Contact service technician." The ram was problem free for 1.5 years with latest firmware and running 10.2.1 now. Once I tried my battery that wouldn't hold a charge in a friends Pismo. The batt Worked fine. I think I will make a personal appearance with my repair history at an applestore this summer. The problem is that my repairs have been made in Europe and America, so my entire repair history isn't on the applecare computers (I am guessing). Here is the DVD thread at apple: <http://discussions.info.apple.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.efbbdf0/0> One of the threads even has a possible hardware fix: <http://discussions.info.apple.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.3bbc4cc7> I treat my computer like a porcelain doll. I rarely travel with it. It is more of a small desktop machine to me. I'm lucky (?) and have applecare until January 2004.
