dallicant Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hey, I have a hardware-related question. Something's wrong with the CD/DVD Drive on my iMac 5.1. Whenever I put in a disc, I start hearing this periodic humming sound. The disc icon never appears, and my computer gets partially stuck; I can move the mouse, but it am unable to eject the disc. I couldn't shut it down normally, so I switched off the entire computer. Turning it back on, I found it wouldn't load. Finally, after several attempts, it finally spat out the disc. This first happened with a PC CD I was using on Boot Camp, but the same problem appeared on a Mac CD on the Apple side, so I'm thinking it's a hardware problem. I tried cleaning the drive, but that didn't help, and right now I'm very reluctant to insert another disc. I'm probably going to end up taking this to the Genius Bar or something come next week, but I was wondering if anyone here had a similar experience to this. Thanks, and Happy Holidays.
