Scott,
To me the first question to ask is whether or not you've opened the case to
check mechanical and electrical connections, to clean out all the dust
bunnies, and to lubricate the drive mechanisms. If you have, then the next
thing to try is replacement with a known good drive to confirm that the
mainboard circuitry is OK. I think I have a couple of spare superdrives
available, but the cost of shipping from 55110 in the USA may make it
uneconomical to send one to you in Nova Scotia. Good luck with your
project. Let me know if you need a drive and we'll negotiate a price.
