Shymon184 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi all, My iMac G3's CD-ROM is struggling to eject CDs, I have to grab the partially ejected CD and yank it out before it inserts itself again. I thought about replacing it with another drive, but I've came across this guide, and I'm wondering if it would be any help to me? also, concerning the guide, I'm not sure if it's good idea to microwave a rubber band in water at 115ºC. The water will be boiling and I'm afraid that the rubber band would melt... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gocarlo Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Time to learn how to stop worrying and follow the guide! Easy to get another band if it melts, but clearly it doesn't melt at only 115. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RetroReviewYT Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Sounds like the drive belt has perished. Not an uncommon issue by any stretch, as even PC optical drives can suffer from this as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
