DVD drive makes odd noise

Hello! I posted on this a couple of days ago but no one responded so I thought I would repost and reword what is going on. I've had two HP Pavilion DV6 laptops from walmart and both of them have DVD drives that will make an odd noise randomly as if its trying to spin up a disc really quickly and then stops. It sounds like it would if you ejected the drive then put it back in with nothing in it. The first laptop did this almost every 5 min and this new one does it once or twice every half hour or so. I've seen on another forum where different models like the d6 and dv6 have had this issue as well with no response from HP or anyone else. Any ideas?

At this point, I highly recommend you contact HP Technical Phone Support .

Mac Mini won't start-up (while DVD drive makes mechanical noises).

Here is what is going on:
When I turn on my Mac Mini, the DVD drive starts making mechanical noises, exactly the kind of noise it makes while grabbing a CD. It keeps doing this for a while, until it stops. The hard drive never starts spinning and the display remains dark. I have tried the following:
1) Booting from the Leopard DVD: the behavior remains almost the same. The DVD spins, the noises stop but nothing else happens.
2) After manually removing the DVD (nothing else worked) I tried reseting the SMS. I also tried the PMU procedure. As a result my mac mini became a powerful fancy fan.
3) After taking apart the unit (warranty period is over), I even changed the HD (I had another one) but the behavior remained the same.
I simply don't get it. I believe this happened after a power outage.

If it were me ... and if there is more free space on the external hard drive than there is "stuff" on the Mini that needs to be saved ... I would probably connect the Mini to the G5 with a firewire cable, connect the external to the G5, and startup the Mini in Target Disk Mode (which will mount it on the G5's desktop.) Then I'd rescue everything of value from the Mini's hard drive by copying it in small chunks to the external drive.
Then I'd shut everything down, disconnect the cables, and boot the the Mini from the Leopard disc and do a clean install. Then I'd bring the relevant data files back from the external drive.
(The actual details might vary slightly.)
(I see Nick had the same simultaneous thought -- though he expresses the process more clearly than I.)

DVD Drive makes strange noises

Hi,
I have a Macbook that whenever I put it into sleep the DVD drive keeps trying to eject a disk that's not in there, and continues to keep trying every 30 sec or so, and won't stop until I open the lid again.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have this same problem. The eject routine runs every 10 secs for 7 attempts and then rests. Every 5 mins or so, the routine will run again every 10 secs for 7 attempts. After 5 cycles, it will stop and then the cycles will resume at a frequency that I have not been able to determine. Not a functional problem, but certainly annoying and enough noise to wake me up.

My cd/dvd drive makes sounds as if reading a disc, but there is no disc in it

See title.
This occurs once every few minutes. I have never used the cd/dvd drive in the few days I own this laptop.

Hey Lewistrick
This is probably normal. Sometimes, Windows or security software may try to access the drive for some reason, so the drive will "check" if there is a disc in there by moving things and making a slight sound.
As long as the notebook and the optical drive works normally otherwise, then there's nothing wrong with your unit! Good news!

My CD/DVD drive keeps making noises with no disc inserted

My computer's CD/DVD drive makes the noise of it trying to pull in a disc whenver my computer is sat down or squeezed slightly from being picked up. I'm not sure why it keeps doing this. Is there anything wrong with it? Or is it just a little too sensitive?

Yes and no, the computer is obviously physically triggering the disk catch which may mean it's got a loose screw or something similar. It's advisable one way or the other to have it looked at or look at it yourself, the mechanism for the drive should be visible by removing the keyboard.

My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting dvd, I have a macbook PRo

My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting a dvd. Does that means it needs to be replaced?

It's more like a grinding sound. I was trying to convert the dvd with Mpeg Streamclip when it started , After that I tried with Handbrakes and got the same sound. I gave it a rest and inserted another dvd and it was fine. Now I don't know what to do, looks like the drive is ok..

I have a photo cd from photographer that was burned on a mac but it will not open on my mac. It goes in, makes some noise, then ejects. My system pref. is set to open iPhoto when a photo cd is inserted. She has sent me 2 disc and both do the same thing

NOt an iPhoto issue - either a bad CD or a bad Superdrive on your computer - no way for us to tell try the CD in a different computer

Disc drive makes strange noises

I just got my macbook and from the very start whenever I insert a disc it makes a noise like its popping and breaking internally. the disc will play fine, but the sound is SO wrong that its worrying me. Has anyone else had this problem? Was it just something wrong with the disc drive?

I think what your hearing is the drive sorting itself out, mine makes quite a racket when you first put a disc in but its fine, i think it is standard across the range. To make sure it would be worth comparing to a friends or listen to one in a shop.
Cheers.

Amnesty International, Make Some Noise Album - DRM Protected?

Hi,
I am wondering if the Amnesty International, Make Some Noise Album is corrupted with Apples DRM protection. I would very much like to buy this album and support Amnesty, but I am not going to do so if the songs I pay for are not going to play on a portable media player other than Apple's iPod.
If anybody knows the status of this album can you post a reply please.
Steve

I assume you are talking about the "Instant Karma" album in support of Darfur? If that is correct, the CD is DRM protected. As of right now, the only DRM free downloads are from EMI. No other record company has agreed to offer DRM free files.

When your Lenovo Twist makes a noise like a hair dryer -

I apologize for my English, but I have something to say.
Trying to finish my PhD thesis, I decided to buy one of the last Lenovo creations, the ThinkPad Twist.
Bought the last February, the fan noise becomes more and more like a hair dryer that never stop; I can’t work more than one hour because the noise is hardly resistible. I took the laptop to the library and the noise stop the calm of the place…
After this incident I tried to contact the support center to have one solution. This is my history:
First call to Lenovo support center, I explain the situation, a fan that never stop and sound like a hair dryer…. Answer: They propose me send the computer to the repair center: “tomorrow UPS will take the computer”. Just here fine, but I didn't’t receive the e-mail confirmation.
Second call, I give the number that they told me to write over the box for UPS , and I ask for the confirmation mail… they send me the confirmation mail and finally the Lenovo Support Center guy told me that UPS wouldn't’t go to my home to take the computer, according with my warranty, it’s my responsibility to the send the computer to the support center…
-So I decided to change my warranty to have the “On site/In-Home Service”, that means “a technician will be dispatched to arrive onsite, typically the next business day. *** Onsite service is available in metropolitan areas only”, and I live in Paris. -
Upgrade warranty bought May 02, 2013 (Thursday) and activated the next day (Friday). I decided to call the support center to update my request. The answer: "One technician will go to your home the next business day (Monday)", so I give all the details to arrive to my home, I change my schedule to be at home all the Monday and finally the technician never came… Only one guy of UPS to that one box. o.O
Next call to support center (LSC), I explain the situation “I wait for a technician who never came…”. Explanation from the support center: “Lenovo France have to forward one request to confirm my new warranty” but…. I explain: The warranty was activated in the website, in my computer and I received a lot of confirmation mails… So I ask, what I have to do? – Answer: wait….
Next day, next call to LSC, I ask for the situation of my request… Answer“Lenovo France have to forward one request to confirm my new warranty” but…. I explain: The warranty was activated in the website, in my computer and I received a lot of confirmation mails… So I ask, what I have to do? – Answer: wait….
7,8 cents for each call and 2,8 cents by minute of communication is the introduction phrase of the LSC number.
Today I called to LSC, May 10, 2013 (Friday), ONE WEEK after the upgrade warranty activation I ask for the situation of my request… Answer “Lenovo France have to forward one request to confirm my new warranty”but... I explain: The warranty was activated in the website, in my computer and I received a lot of confirmation mails… So I ask, what I have to do? – Answer: wait…. We will call you…
I am very disappointed. I was thinking that I had the most powerful computer in the market, one of the best Lenovo that all my coworkers talk. I am really unhappy, my new computer sound like an expensive hair dryer (1000 € - yes, euros) and the people that should help only tells me to wait - “we will call you when validate in France your warranty” - but…. The warranty is activated.
If my computer makes a noise like a hair dryer at least you have to know, do not you think?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Emilio, welcome to the forums,
sorry to read about your experience so far and would like to share some points which you might like to consider based on my personal experience as an IBM / Lenovo reseller.
In most of Europe the standard warranty conditions are for so called "carry-in" or "bring-in", this means that the customer is responsible for transporting their system to the service depot / partner, by post or other means.
Also it can take a little while, sometimes three weeks, for an on-site warranty extension / service pack to be fully activated when purchased some time after the system itself, even in the IBM days, and would not cover a call which had already been opened / started.
As your system is working, although the fan seems to be permanently running, you may need a little more patience and let's wait and see if they will cover your already opened call as an on-site.
I know this isn't maybe what you wanted to read, but is based on my experience, and as experiences will differ I can only hope that the right solution arrives for you a little quicker than I personally would expect.
