problem mounting CDs

[John Roberts]

I have a Titanium Mercury (G4/400MHz). I'm now on my third CD/DVD 
drive. The first one stopped mounting discs after a year or so, the 
second one another year or two. I just bought and installed a 
refurbished one a couple of weeks ago and almost immediately started 
having trouble mounting discs.

The same thing always happens. I insert the CD, it gets sucked in, it 
spins for a second or two, then stops. Then nothing happens. There 
doesn't seem to be any way to tell OSX that there's a disc in there. I 
then restart and try again.

I have an external firewire CDRW that has no problems. I'm wondering if 
the problem isn't with the drives but with the Powerbook itself.
