Can I put a dvd laser from an iMac G3 dvd drive into a cd drive?

Maybe I’ll get a cd-rw drive for my iMac g3 soon, but it originally came with a dvd drive that doesn’t work anymore. Can I just put the dvd laser in the cd drive making it a dvd drive?

Bazzite freezes and goes to a terminal after a few minutes

I tried to update bazzite a week ago, I had Firefox open and Firefox needed updates. When the terminal began updating Firefox it froze,
And after some time I forced it to shut down by the power button. When I start bazzite now it works normal for a couple minutes but then it freezes. I already tried updating and rebasing the system but it also freezes before it can do that.
What should I do? Any advice is appreciated!

Where can I find information like a diagram of the circuit boards in my crt?

I had a look in the manual of my Philips 32PW9617/12 and I couldn’t find anything, are there any other places I can look?

My crt stopped working after I’ve owned it for 8 hours

My Philips W76EKW10X73 stopped working after 8 hours, I was using it and the screen just went off. I have a video of what happens if I try to turn it on, and I have unplugged it since. A friend said that maybe it’s capacitors, but he doesn’t know for sure.
(Sorry for repost, I used the wrong video)

What’s the best way to connect this Philips W76EKW10X73 to a media server (like plex or Netflix) or a pc?

Edit: I want to use the SCART ports, not the rca
Soon I’ll get this SD CRT tv, but I don’t know how I can connect it to something that can stream movies

Which type of ram does the iMac G4/1.0 15" "FP" (USB 2.0) model use?

I read it uses PC2700 DDR SDRAM, but I don’t know if that’s the slot on the bottom or the slot on the inside. I also read that you can upgrade to 2gb, do I still need PC2700 DDR SDRAM for that?

Why does iTunes use different file names?

I’m on macOS Big Sur with iTunes 10 and when I add some mp4 files I converted they show up as breaking bad season (X) disk (X), but I renamed the files before putting them on a flash drive to get them onto the Mac, what is going on?

I have this iMac g4 and I tried making a backup for the first time and after 2 tries I did it (the power went down one time) but when I wanted to sync more to it the next day it couldn’t find the backup. And now, 6 days later it can find the drive and automatically connects it but it says preparing and won’t connect even though I can see the files on the Mac

The original backup took really long and I don’t want to do that again, I hope it’s possible to fix it without deleting the old backup
