hi all. i bought an ibook g3 500 with a dvd-rom on ebay recently, and just got it yesterday, and noticed something weird. for some reason it doesn't read cd's. when i put a cd in, the tray pops open a few seconds later. is that normal? dvd's work just fine. i would think that a dvd-rom would be able to read cd's. no?

I have an iBook G3 500MHZ with the DVD Rom. It reads CDs just fine. My OSX Panther CDs worked, considering I reinstalled the system... Music CDs work. So, something isn't right with your iBook.
