G3 IBook, Sony comdo drive.
OSx Jaguar 10.2 with all updates and security patches.
The drive does play CDs but will not play DVDs.
IT did play DVDs in the past, I haven't used it to play CDs or watch DVDs for some time.
I bought the Tiger OS DVD. When I put the disk in the drive, it stays in and spins up and then is ejected.
I put a music CD in and it played. Then I tried a movie DVD that worked in it before and it was ejected. I did a lot of troubleshooting, ran the repair disks, to no avail. Apple had an update that side it would resolve DVD issues. I downloaded it, but it didn't work.
I ended up doing a clean install of the OS and the DVD still will not work. Should I trash the DVD software and then reinstall it? Would opening up the Ibook and unpluging the drive and the pluging it back in work.
Apple support was no help at all.
Thank You for your help
