Hi, I have a friend with an 8600 running 9.1 with standard CD ROM aboard (24X I think?) - it has recently stopped mounting CDs. The drawer will open, but when closed, the CD won't spin up, the green light stays off, and nothing mounts. I can't get it to boot from an OS CD either. Seems to be a hardware problem. Personally I have a PowerBook 1400 and I know that there is a similar issue whereby CDs won't mount, and a small adjustment of a screw underneath the drive tray can cure it. Is there any such adjustment worth trying on the 8600 internal CD ROM before we consign it to the dumpster? I'm a digest user, so I would really be grateful for a direct reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm going around to his place now to help, including installing a G4 upgrade!
