Error code"4MOT/2/40000004:ODD-4562" what does this mean?

I AM ALWAYS VERY PLEASED WITH APPLE COMPUTERS AND MY IMAC EARLY 2009 AND IT IS GOING VERY WELL WHEN I RUN EXTENDED HARDWARE TEST I GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODE    "4MOT/2/40000004:ODD-4562"  AND I AM WONDERING WHAT THE ERROR CODE MEANS AND WHEN I RUN ISTAT PRO IT SHOWS ALL THREE FANS GOING NORMAL SPEED AND NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN COMPUTER ?

That's a SuperDrive fan motor problem. This means that the fan isn't working correctly.
Take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the SuperDrive replaced. I recommend you to do this even if you see that the ODD fan is working at a normal speed, because it can fail at any moment. To make sure it's not a mistake, run Apple Hardware Test again

    You may end up having to take it to apple for them to take a look at.
    Alternatively, contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

    I recently restored to factory settings.I updated iTunes Store account details and change of password on my PC. After that I tried to log on to the Store via my mobile and was confronted with my previous ISP,s log on page requesting password which when entered correctly it didn't recognise. The restoration action solved that particular problem but has now left me with the "error code 4001 problem. Be grateful for solution..

  • Error code:"4MOT/2/40000004: ODD" means what?

    I do the hardware test on my two iMac 24".
    Both show error code "4MOT/2/40000004: ODD".
    Does anybody know what it means?

    Re: your more recent post that got disappeared, Apple's service and parts channel operates on a very different basis to its supply channel. Supply builds to order and ships direct at the beginning of a product lifecycle to meet demand, and then as the production capacity has increased beyond demand, pre-builds inventory and ships through distribution and starts deviating parts supply to the service channel.
    The service channel receives shipments of parts in batches, when the supply channel can spare them from production. Service then ships out parts as needed for repairs. Defects are usually proportionate to the age of the machine, so there is less need for spares at the beginning of a product life cycle, so service takes a low priority over production. The best thing to do with a mac that is dead on arrival is to return it and get a new one, since it will take ages to repair it. Apple then repairs, refurbishes and resells your old system, when service has capacity to do so.

  • I am having a hard drive issue with code 4MEM/6/4000000:6x7a5db418. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    I recently ran the Utility Disk and was verifying the Hard Drive due to some permission issues and found a problem.  It told me to run the application startup disk to do another diagnostic which I did.  It confirmed there is an issue and gave me the following code = 4MEM/6/4000000:6x7a5db418.  What does this code mean and how can I go about fixing the problem?  Any wisdom with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    the meanings to those codes are not made public and only Apple certified technicians have access to them.

    Hello dmnndj,
    This is the proper procedure and if this fails, take it in for service.
    1. Disconnect the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable from the back of the product, but leave the product turned on.
    2. Open the cover of the product and remove the print cartridges.
    3. Close the cover and wait for the Insert Ink Cartridges message to display.
    4. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product and wait for one minute.
    5. Reconnect the power cord. If the product does not automatically turn on, press the Power button.
    6. Open the cover and reinsert the print cartridges.
    7. Close the cover. If prompted, print a calibration page.
    8. Reconnect the USB cable, and try to print a print job from the computer.
    Hope this helps?

  • "Error in first 1MB of system memory"- What does this mean?

    I have a 2 year old T60, no prior problems. Today, when attempting to start it up (after already running it for a few hours this morning), the screen remained blank and it gave the following series of beep codes- 1 long, 3 short, 4 long, 3 short.
    After some research, I have discovered that this beep code means that there is an "error in the first 1MB of system memory". What exactly does that mean, and how serious is it?

    Hi jchapm12,
    Welcome to the Lenovo forum 
    I was unable to find your beep code in the T60 Hardware Maintenance Manual. And I don't know exactly what your error code code means, other than what it says. But I'd still recommend booting from the Memtest86+ CD and letting at least 1 complete set of tests complete. For a more complete test, let it run for several passes, or overnight.
    In case Memtest finds any errors, then most likely either some of your RAM has gone bad, or the connection between the RAM and its socket in your T60 has become poor. You can try removing and re-inserting the DIMMs to scrape off any surface oxidation that may be giving a bad connection. (See Hardware Maintenance Manual for instructions on adding/removing RAM.) Run Memtest again after any changes to verify that it no longer finds any errors.
    RAM errors are serious: even if they don't cause boot problems, they can lead to filesystem errors and thus unpredictable system instabilities and/or data loss.
    Good luck and please let us know how it goes...
    -Frank
