I have a iMac G5 iSight with a defective optical drive. I am looking for a resource to help me open up my iMac G5 iSight computer and in order to replace the optical drive? The drive will read CD's & CD-ROMs, but fails to mount DVD disks, namely the OS installation DVD. The drive also will not mount commercial movie DVD's. The DVD's that I tried will mount just fine on another Mac computer.

Also I am looking for any recommendations for where to buy a replacement slot loading optical drive for an iMac G5 iSight. The system profiler shows the optical drive as being a MATSHITADVD-R UJ-846, Revision FA0G, but I have not been able to find anything with that nomenclature when I searched on the internet.

Any help will be greatly appreciated - Thanks!
