I am borrowing this Mac iBook G4 and did not understand that this mini disc apparently was not compatible with the drive.

I do now.

The tip was barely sticking out and as i tried to use some tweezers to pull it out the drive made a whizzing sound and the disc went in all the way and i thought perhaps it either truly did work or i could eject it.

No luck either way.

Disc is still in.

PLEASE HELP!

  1. Get rid of the iBook and get a real computer.


  2. Gosh you should' t have inserted the mini disc, still there are some things you can do

    --Press the F12 key or, on original PowerBook G4 computers, the manual eject button located on the side of the slot. Holding down the trackpad button during startup should also eject a disc.

    --Reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) and/or the Power Manager (PMU). PMU reset instructions for iBook G4/PowerBook G4 or for MacBook/MacBook Pro (both 15-inch and 17-inch models).

      

    If none of these work you will need to get a tech guy to take the drive apart and get the disc out but that will void the warranty if it is still under warranty, if that's the case you will need to  tell the owner to contact apple.
