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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 2008 iMac running beautifully untill recently. Screen glitches and freezing. Apple Hardware test showed error code  4MOT/2/40000004:ADD and I have not seen others with this code. Guessing it is a fan issue based on the ODD and HDD error codes

    computer felt hot and while running apple hardware test the screen glitches covered the screen and it froze. Now computer wont boot up. Again AHT code is 4MOT/2/40000004:ADD and I have just seen ODD and HDD codes discussed on other threads.Those were hardrive or superdrive fans, so I am guessing this is a fan issue and then it fried by graphics card. Any help as to whether this is game over or worth repairing would be very appreciated.

    You need to take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for a professional evaluation. Apple does not publish the codes from AHT, you can Google the code you got and see if you can determine what it means however the best method is to let a pro handle it.

  • The error code 4MOT/4/4000003:HDD-1393 has shown up from the apple hardware test. What should I do about this?

    My iMac has been running a little hot, it was suggested to run the Apple hardware test (AHT), as heat can cause problems witht he hard drive.
    The AHT revealed the error code 4MOT/4/4000003:HDD-1393 which I assume means a hard dtrive problem. But, what do I do. Is this a critical error or a minor fault. Everything is running as normal, but the machine is getting a little hotter than usual.

    This indicates problem with HD fan.
    Exact nature of the problem is only known to Apple.
    We have no way to interpret this error code.
    Keep a backup of your data.
    When you get a chance, take the Mac to the nearest Apple store to have it tested.
    Best.

    Buy a new drive and replace the old one. While the old one is still working (if it is) I would quickly make a bootable backup to an external drive if you have one, assuming you have no extant backup.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    You will find suitable replacement drives at OWC.
    They may also have a video tutorial. Or you may find a written tutorial at ifixit.com. Also may find one by Googling for it.

    Photoshop's licensing information might have lost when you restored it to new HD. Re-install Photoshop CS4 and enter the same serial key for PS CS4 which you used before.
    In case you need the download link for PS CS4, you can get it from here. Download CS4 products
    Let me know in case you still get any issues.

  • I run a hardware test and it gave me the error code 4mot/4/40000003:HDD-1500: does anyone know what it means?

    Hello,
    I have a problem of my iMac freezing up regularly for no obvious reason.
    So I ran a hardware test and it returns me only with the code  4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1500.
    I need some help to know what that means and how to repair my iMac.
    William

    William, unfortunately it means your hard disk drive has or is failing and needs to be replaced. Hopefully you have a current backup or clone. You can have the drive replaced at an Apple Store or AASP or do it yourself if you're inclined by following the guide fir your specific iMac at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Desktop

  • When I try to downlead apps I get the Message "error code 4001, try again later." What does this mean and what should I be doing about it ?

    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..

  • What does Apple Hardware Test error code 4MEM/1/40000000:OX3bb6b190 mean?

    Mozilla kept crashing so I did the Apple Hardware Test and got error code 4MEM/1/40000000:OX3bb6b190. I reinstalled MacOs 10.4.4 (after saving the important stuff to disk of course) and it took about 10 tries to get the 2 disks installed. After the installation, I tried to update to 10.4.5, and when I restarted, the screen was blank. The only disk the computer will start with now is the No. 1 installation disk. What can I do?

    Hi
    A MEM error code generally indicates a faulty RAM Module. In my experience most RAM manufacturers offer at least a 5 year warranty of their RAM products. Some warranties are for 10 years. Sometimes reseating (taking it out and putting it back in again - properly) the Module will 'cure' the problem. Run AHT afterwards if you try this option first.
    If you can remove the offending module and still have enough RAM to be able to do what you need to do then do so.
    If not take it to your nearest Apple Repair Specialist who should fix it for you or replace the faulty module yourself and deal with the RAM manufacturer directly.
    Judging by the footer to your post you don't seem to have had much luck with this model have you?
    Tony

  • Got an error code after running AHT. Now what?

    I ran the Apple Hardware Test and got the error code:  4sns/1/40000000:th1H-83.265
    I looked it up and it apparently means there's a problem wuth my heat pipe or heat sink. Makes sense because my MBP burns up and fans really start going when running a game, movie, or photoshop. Does this mean I have to replace something or what? How much will it cost me if I take it in for repairs? I no longer have warranty. I had to replace my harddrive after it failed in Feb 2012 so I will not be happy if it turns out the failure was related to this heat problem and never fixed.
    Mid-2009 13" MBP running OSX 10.8

    That error is indeed a sensor failure.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  It is a hardware failure that only they can resolve.  They will tell you what costs are involved, I simply do not know that.
    Ciao.
