[Cube] CD stuck in cube

[James Deamara]

Hi all.

I recently obtained a used cube with a similar problem but I'm considering 
replacing the drive.  I'm thinking of getting a superdrive for my mini and 
swapping out the drive from that into the cube.  I realize that besides the 
for obvious difference that the mini drive is a laptop drive and that the 
ide interface is a little different (I've found an adaptor for this)  I was 
wondering if any out there has done this and knows of any unforeseen 
problems.  Any info is greatly appreciated.

James.

BTW: I find that lightly tapping the top of the cd as it first appears at 
the top of the drive sometimes causes the drive to pop the disk out.

The rubber rollers start to slip on the metal rods that eject the cd,  time 
for a new one, it was a typical problem with the cube drives. If  it is 
trying to eject it it might pop out a bit and then pull the  disk back in 
try to grab it with something before it goes back in.  plastic tweezers work 
well and usually won't damage the cd. You can  also try to move the dust 
cover cloth a bit out of the way so the  disk has less resistance coming 
out.
