Q: G5 Superdrive fail, from canned air blast?
Before I start, yes it is a relic but new iMac is on the way.
G5 dual 2.0. It could be coincidence but sometime after blowing out some dust with canned air, my superdrive PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109, no longer mounts disks. Can't boot from it, burn to it, nothing.
It tries. Ever second or two I hear it try (kaChunk) but after 6 ot 7 tries it sends the disk back out. Could it be that I relocated a piece of dust?
I've searched for used DVR-109's but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Jeff
PS: the can was held upright so no freon or whatever is in the can got out.
