Pwerbook Superdrive Having Difficulty Ejecting Discs

[Redline13]

Hi. My Powerbook is having difficulty ejecting cds and dvds out of it's drive. When they eject they don't come out as far as they used to. On one occasion the disc actually refused to eject and it took multiple tries before it did. Has anyone ever come across this before? I still have a couple months of applecare and I am going to have this looked at but I am trying to gather some info before I go into the store since. Thanks.

I've seen this twice before. In both cases it was fixed by resetting the PRAM. If that doesn't work, try resetting the PMU as well.

PRAM: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
PMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

If you still have no joy I would suggest you send it away for Apple to check over.

Resetting the PRAM seems to have done the trick. Thanks. You Rule!
