[Ti] Problem with Combo Drive

[Kynan Shook]

You could try taking the bottom cover off your PowerBook, and check the 
cable.  See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=111923 for 
instructions on how to open and close the bottom; you'll probably need 
a #1 Phillips screwdriver.  By the optical drive, there will be a 
narrow cable and a wide cable connected to the logic board.  The narrow 
one goes to the optical drive; take it off by pulling up, and then snap 
it back down.  (The wide one, FYI, goes to the PMU, inverter, and 
trackpad.)
