     If it is a slot loader and not a tray then yes these were a problem on yours I'm sure. I have a G4 Titanium PowerBook that had the same issue so I replaced it with a super drive and now I can burn anything up to a Dual Layer DVD. If you are not doing any kind of burning you can pick one up fairly cheap. I paid around $56 w/shipping on ebay for mine around 2 yrs ago.-Original Message-

Does the iBook bong, boot, and function properly other wise?

Have you tried cleaning the optical drive?
