My powerbooks disc drive isn't working at all, its a mechanical issue (or so I believe.) When I try to push in a disc, it won't grab it and pull it in like usual. If I push the disc in all the way manually, it fails to eject it. It makes noises like its trying to read a disc, but it fails each time. I plan to take it in soon for repair, but I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and what did it turn out to exactly be?

I searched and found that other people have had a problem similar to mine, but still no information on how it was fixed...

I would say that it's a mechanical issue in your optical drive. They will replace the whole optical drive.
