Jan 16, 2014 11:46 AM in response to BDAquaby maclover6,I've actually tried that, but the drive seems to have arms or something preventing the disk from coming out. I also noticed that if I press the eject button I no longer get the white eject box on the screen.

Jan 17, 2014 7:26 AM in response to BDAquaby maclover6,I do have some long tweezers I could try. If the drive is dead, is there any place cheep I could pick one up? I've read that I could put an iMac G3's slot drive in the cube, is that at all possible?

Any idea what the cause was???

Jan 21, 2014 7:00 AM in response to BDAquaby maclover6,I'm not sure, It looked like the motor that activated the ejection of the disk was stuck. The only thing I could see that was really concerning was the amount of dust within the drive it's self.
