Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / February 2004Lock an iBook's CD tray?
Hello, If I get my (very young) daughter an iBook (preferably the old 'toilet seat' kind), I'd like to make it impossible for her to pop out the CD tray by just pressing the button on the side. Is there anything that will let me do that? Thanks, Todd > Hello, > > If I get my (very young) daughter an iBook (preferably the old > 'toilet seat' kind), I'd like to make it impossible for her to pop out > the CD tray by just pressing the button on the side.

Spanking her a couple times should do it. -Sloopy ]Hello, ] ] If I get my (very young) daughter an iBook (preferably the old ]'toilet seat' kind), I'd like to make it impossible for her to pop out ]the CD tray by just pressing the button on the side.

If you want this to be fairly permanent, and are not averse to a little hardware disassembly, you could probably just disconnect the power from the CD drive.
