I'm not sure if this is a common issue or not, but the solder they use to glue the bottom case together is coming apart on my computer. Do any of you know how to fix this?

PB's superdrive won't erase new DVD-RW media — #7
No, he wasn't. My 1GHz 12" works perfectly with DVD-R/Ws. It might be a matter of bad media or a dodgy drive, but it should work. -R/W will only burn at 1x, though, not the 2x you'…

Hmm. So it was probably the cheap disc I used.
Unless dropping my powerbook the other day damaged my drive in some way? But why would that affect only the DVD-RW function and no…
