I have an iBook 600Mhz (Late 2001) and I think the CDRW part of the Combo Drive is dead, I've burned like 6 coasters on Toast 5.1.4 and 1 on iTunes 3.0 I've tried 2 differnet mediums at 4X burn. Any other tests I should run before I send it back to Apple?

The only thing I can think of (if your iBook is dual boot) is to boot in OS 9 and try to burn from there.

Running Apple's Hardware Test CD may also be a good idea (does it actually test optical drives; can't remember).

Good luck!

Apple's hardware test CD only tests the stuff on the logic board and the LCD.
