[QUOTE="karlseith, post: 808683, member: 88528"] So I have an intel iMAC 7,1 20" with a DVD stuck in the superdrive and the superdrive is no longer recognized in the system profiler. When the DVD was inserted it worked fine but the next day the icon disappeared, DVD wouldn't eject and the drive is not showing up in profiler, or disk utilities. I have googled this to no end and surprisingly couldn't find anyone that had the same problem. I tried fixes recommended for other problems like reseting the PRAM and NVRAM, holding down the mouse at reset, and unplugging everything for 15 seconds then restarting to no avail. The iMAC is just over 1 year old and therefor out of warranty. This was my first PC to MAC conversion, which originally sold me on MAC, however I must admit I am very unhappy with this turn of events. Does anyone have an suggestions on a fix/repair?? Thanks, Karl [/QUOTE]
