[QUOTE="tnt, post: 1301358, member: 216170"] Whenever I insert a CD or DVD into my MacBook all I can hear is the drive spin up then after a few seconds the drive spins down. This is repeated a few times. Eventually, after about 20 seconds the CD or DVD is ejected. I have a MacBook running 10.4.11. I tried buying an external DVD drive, in case it was a problem with the internal drive, but this has the same problem - all I can hear is the drive repeatedly spinning up, then stopping, then spinning up over and over again. I now want to upgrade from 10.4.11 and I will need by CD/DVD for this. Is this a firmware problem? Should I take it to an Apple Centre? TNT P.S. Be assured that I [U]have[/U] researched a possible solution to this problem on many occasions but have been unable to find a satisfactory answer [/QUOTE]
