Haha.. Always got cd stuck in the drive and need to use scissors to pull it out..
Good looking drive but gives quite a lot of problem...

Lol, what is this? Need help for new optical drive or what

Under warranty? Then go to Apple Service Centre for assistance ....

It's a common problem for someone who use it kasar-kasar..

Use it with care then you would not face any problem. It's not tray drive, it's slot-loading so do not push in your cd too much, push a little bit, the slot will suck it in.

Er, wouldn't using a scissors to get the CD out spoil/damage the CD?!

There's a tiny edge on the cd where 01010101 thingy is not burned on. Just be careful lol ... Wonder what happens when other people see it

I sure wouldn't want to be using any scissors or whatever-else to get CDs out of any drive..... And it definitely doesn't look too 'cool' !!! *grins*

Speaking of which, wanna tell me where I should put the scissors so the 01010101010 data doesn't get corrupted, just in case?

I got a CD stuck on my slot loading drive once. Reason it's stuck because it's a cheap CD-R and it's uneven (not flat). Took me a while to figure how to take it out and it's a simple matter with out the scissors.

Just tilt the notebook with the drive opening facing the ground and press the eject button. Using the gravity force, your CD should slide out from the slot.

can you tell what cd that stuck inside??? Movie cd, movie dvd or data cd.

instead of scissor, you could have use a tweezer. slot-loading sucks anyway. stylish, elegant but impractical as hell.

The slot loading drive on my Titanium PowerBook bought in August 2001 is still working fine. Slot loads are present on my brand new HDMI Sony DVD player and my Nintendo Wii.

Whilst you may be unlucky and get a defective drive, I'd prefer to think that sensible handling would mean these drives last as long as the tray variety.

The edge of the disc? There's about 2mm of pure plastic there .

Hahaha.. any here try to read a nonstandard size cd with a slot in cdrom? i tried on my MBP but it cant be slotted in.. Keep got ejected.

You can't use a nonstandard size CD with a slotload. Don't even try.

Read the manual.

Well MacDaNife, many ppl doesn't RTFM. That's why we have all this threads.

guys need help.

Mine is not superdrive, combo drive only, but when i insert any cd or dvd, nothing happens. Based on the settings in my system preference > cd n dvd and also finder's preference, it should show the cd/dvd on my desktop or ask me what to do.

How do i solve this problem ?

did u hear any rotation sound?
if its not spinning..
then it will not read anything
and will not show the CD/DVD icon on the finder

there was sound. It sounded like it's reading the dvd. But nothing happens

go back lowyat, complain...

when i was buying my macbook also, it seems that batch quite poorly made....

i wasn't so happy with my display and the fittings of the keyboard plate around the edges where can see it isn't flush with the back cover..

they took out another unit for me, it was even worse...

we have consumer rights, and they should provide the service...
besides, they can always claim it back from apple...

hmm, if possible wanna solve it without going there. I hate the traffic in KL

I'll see what i can do
