I have a 14" G4 ibook with a dead optical drive (slot loader 
cd/cdr/dvd).

I have found sources for new drives and that are fairly 
inexpensive....as in under $100.

Has anyone on list had experience replacing the drive?  It looks like 
its pretty labor/time intensive but doable.

Hoping to hear from someone with some actual hands-on experience so I 
can get encouragement, warnings, tips etc.

Thanks!!!

Denny
