Hi Leith,
Sounds like you are having the same problem I am, but I haven't been to
that extent.
My work around has been to use an external drive, which is a Iomega Zip
650 CD burner to read my CD-R's.
Parts for these machines seem to be 'hard to find' and they are not the
easiest to open up and service.
IMO, basically not the service costs vs. the price of a used/newer
iBook. The easiest things to service for these are RAM and Airport Card
installs (which Apple doesn't make any more, just the Extreme ones).
So, if you want you can check eBay and such or:

Hope this helps!
