Superdrive not working

[snax83]

I tried to restart my MBP tonight and got nothing except grey screen and then it started booting up, I thought everything was fine. I tried to insert a cd into the superdrive and......nothing!!! It won't even accept a disc, I've had a look on system profiler and under Hardware-->Disc Burning it says that there is no hardware present, ie. there's no optical drive.

Does anybody know what I can do, bearing in mind I can't insert and cd's due to it not accepting them???????

Call Apple or take it to an Apple Authorized Repair center. They will repair or replace it since you are still under warranty.

Same thing happened to my 17" MBP. I had to take it to an Apple Store where they replaced the optical drive and now everything works fine.

my superdrive got....shall we say...viciously mangled by a member of my family (little sis trying to get to her cd, and not knowing how to get it out, she stuck a knife in it-- "THE EJECT KEY"). Apple replaced it really quickly, in like 5-6 days. just have it replaced.
