Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Hold down the mouse button while powering it on.
When I do this, I can hear a click, but nothing's coming out.
I also tried the first hint on this page, but "eject cd" just told me "ok" (without doing anything).
I even tried putting another DVD in the slot, on the off chance that the person who told me there was a DVD stuck in there was wrong, but there's definitely SOMETHING in there.
You've cycled the power, I take it? That usually resets the drive eject mechanism, but apparently not, in this case.
I think so, but I'll try leaving it off for longer this time. This will be about the millionth time this has been tried, though.

Anyone see any for less than $75?
Hey, Eddie, your suggestion of moving the RAM to a new slot worked on my G5. At least for the moment. Thanks!
I'm going to be, um, slightly unethical and try to sell it while it's working rather than continuing trying to diagnose a nebulous possible problem. Don't need the computer anyway. Will warn of instability to anybody buying, of course, and lower asking price accordingly.
