CD/DVD Burner on G4 EMac
Hi, I'm new here.
I've gone through everything and it looks like I probably need at new cd/dvd burner for my EMac. It's got the original Pioneer DVR-104 in it. From what I've heard from other people I'm surprised it lasted so long.
It will play CDs and DVDs but it won't burn any. It will go all through a burn and then give an error message, spitting out a wrecked disc (failed to write lead in/lead out, blah blah). I've tried pretty much everything to try to fix it.
So, where is a good place can I get one and how difficult is it to swap? There's only one Mac repair guy in my whole city (and possibly all of Newfoundland for all I know).

I would recommend to only buy Pioneer drives. The one I just ordered from NewEgg was the 111-D and it only cost $32.49. Link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827129001
