[QUOTE="AylmerQc, post: 1619162, member: 59710"] As stated on a previous post, i just bought a second hand mid 2011 iMac a few days ago. The previous owner told me the optical drive wasn't working, so he threw in an external Apple drive in with it. No big deal I thought, looking at similar on-line issues others have had, when upgrading to the latest OSX's or at times dirt on the lens. He said he hadn't had time to trouble shoot it so I thought it's a mid 11 model, couldn't have lost the dvd Superdrive already, but it looks like that's the case. I've tried every thing I was able to find in discussion groups (reset Pram,SMC, Credit card with cloth trick,ect ) but nothing doing so I guess it's a goner. Not much of a life span I guess. Anyone else have Superdrives die so soon? [/QUOTE]
