hey- There are certainly some options available.. For example, check out this link: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/optical-drives/superdrives/cube/ You'd have to install it.. Maybe I could help you find a service manual, if you wanted to try.

This happens at the same location every time, and the failure has quite persistently survived all software upgrades up version 10.4 (which rules out any driver problems I believe). Playing the same DVD on a PowerBook G4 works fine, so the problem must be due to the CD-drive itself. Is there any chance I can get hold of replacement drive or maybe a third party drive that will work? I mean without spending another $1000?
