Hinges and CD's

Hey guys I have a 17" Powerbook. The hinges are a bit weak. I was wondering if there was a way that I can tighten them, and now my CD's and DVD's don't come out smoothly anymore. Seems like something is blocking. I was just wondering if anybody here was having the same problem, or if there was someone here that can help me resolve these problems.

    Okay...how would I be able to clear it out..I was considering buying a new dual layer Superdrive from a third party, and having it installed.

    sounds like a good idea i would not try cleaning it yourself

    yeah i found a great one...my only problem is installing it. I have the instructions to do it myself, but I don't know if it would be wise for me to do that. I read the instructions on PB fix it, but I'm still a bit afraid.



    I wonder on a scale from 1-10 how difficult is it?

    Well I've got a 17" Powerbook...I think I may just do it. I just dont want to damage my book in any way. And end up spending more money trying to get it fixed
