I've been reading the majority of the questions here, but I don't think they've answered the one I'm going to post here:

I've a Power Mac G4 Mirrored Door with the Pioneer DVR-109 Rev 1.17 installed. It had been working properly for 6 months hassle free until....

I played a DVD video (Digable Planets) and set the region code for the first time. Again, no problem.

I then played a Xmas CD from Faith Evans (no, not Faith Hill) and two tracks played fine in iTunes, but after that my machine froze.

Since then, I can't read CD's (audio or data), but CAN read and burn DVD's.

I've installed PatchBurn, didn't help. Reinstalled the OS, didn't help.


Also, my drive keeps opening and closing every 5-10 mins.

what gives!?

Hi,

I just got a G4 Dual, Mirrored Drives. I'm considering purchasing and installing the Pioneer DVR-109 DVD. I saw your post on the forum...

Would you recommend this drive with this machine (running Tiger).

Thanks,

Back on topic....

What happens when you insert a cd? Nothing? Crash? Spinny Beach Ball?
 
turned out that one of the lasers was busted/out of whack. Sent it to pioneer and was repaired promptly (under warranty) and shipped back. Works like a charm now.

Don't know how this could have happened, the machine is NEVER moved atop my desk....unless the cleaning people have been mucking around with it.
