is my macbook broken? (1 Viewer)

[go_swans]

hey all..
just got my new mackbook pro today, opened it and all seemed great.
that was, until i tried to insert a CD or DVD into it. So i go to put it in, it takes it then makes a really strange sound, tries to read it and spits it back out.
Have tried 4 diferent CDS, and tried inserting it both ways so its not the CD.

am i doing something wrong, or is my macbook stuffed??
thanks

lol, sorry. I missed the spits back out bit... that definately isn't normal as mac support said.

However, the drive is pretty noisy in general.

I have to say a fair few people I know have gotten lemon MacBooks now with the bigger known issues; not closing together correctly, broken keys, battery swelling and the yellow staining.

You're the first I know with a dead superdrive

Yeah i googled my problem just to see if anyone else had the same issue, turns out someone did and had to get the superdrive replaced. But seeing as i only got mine this weeks and it came broken, i will get a new one which is good. ( seeing as I spent 4K i really do want a fully functioning machine!!)

even though ive had issues with it from the word go, i must say i <3 my new laptop aand am glad i chose macook pro over a PC laptop.

if only they would release a universal office sooner

right now I have to use office 2003 on parallels as it is faster that way...

fucking motherfucking cunt bunch of smarmy computer wankers.

i'm sorry but this macbook has been nothing but trouble. mac os x is a killer piece of operating system, but the actual laptop, with failing HDDs, logic boards, firewire port... not happy.
