Mac help - Drive repair possible?

[platycat]

I have had 3 people come to me with their mac laptops with the same question, can the cd drive be fixed because they have to hold it like 98% in to make it read, if they lock the drawer it won't go.... I'm not a Mac person, but 3 out of 3... that's no co-ink-E-dink!

Beastly little biggers, I replaced a screen in one once, ugh....


Thanks.

Same laptop manufacture?
Models?

Maybe one guy told someone else you fix laptop doors or something

confuzed about the MACs

Both G4 apples.... I have fixed a HP cd door in the past, but it was just the lock clip was bad, no biggie.... but I have tons of replacement parts for PC so I often replace failed opticals... *shrug*

Yes I've done it thousands of times myself
Usually due to case issues (as you must know)

I think co-incidence for 3. But then again things aren't made the way they use to be

My customers don't typically like expensive... this site is helpful though.
Thanks
