iMac Aluminum Optical Drive Trouble


1 post in this topic

Recommended Posts

I have a first generation iMac Aluminum (20" 2.4Ghz), and my optical drive (8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)) recently decided not to function properly. It's a mechanical problem that can be described as such:

 

Insert the disc=> drive makes the usual noises as when disc is inserted=> drive's gears make funny noise=> drive decides to eject disc=> eject fails=> drive makes the usual noises as when disc is inserted=> drive's gears make funny noise=> drive decides to eject disc=> eject fails...and on she goes.

 

Finally after several hours of this the disc will eject (I have only done this twice because it is so annoying).

 

I am wondering if anyone has heard of/had similar problems.

 

Thanks
