Could the magnet cause the optical drive to close?
I recently changed out the hard drive on a G4 iBook. I started it up and put in the startup dvd at which point the drive locked shut and will not detect or eject the dvd. I'm wondering if the magnet that sits on top of the optical drive has anything to do with it. I noticed that the case of the optical drive is magnetized and might be pulling the locking mechanism up and holding it in the closed position. My titanium powerbook at least had a manual eject button in case such a problem arises, not so with this drive....something to re-think, Apple!
