Superdrive is dead? after 3 days of use?

Hello out there,
I am trying to see if this has happened to anyone else out there. I just purchased a brand new MacBook 2.0. I loaded Protools and SampleTank onto the system, and now when insert any type of CD or DVD, It just spits it back out!! I have not abused or dropped it in any way.
Since it is brand new, they will replace it with another one, but I have to reload all of my programs, which is a pain!
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks
D

Not on my Macbook. I did get a couple bad drives and a bad burner when I used to build PCs and I just bought today a brand new Xbox 360 with a defective hard drive out of the box.
Sorry, but even brand new hard drives and cd burners fail.

  • 5510L JetPack dead after day 8

    This death of the Verizon 5510L JetPack after day 8 has happened on several of these units. We send these out in the field to our customers and 8 days after they use them, they are dead. Done. Kaput. No life. They are plugged into the back of a device that has full power 24/7, so there is absolutely no reason for these to be dead. Is anyone experiencing these issues? Also, anyone have any feedback on the random resetting/shutting down behavior exhibited by these JetPacks? 5510L.

        Barely71,
    Sorry to hear about the trouble you have been having with the 5510L. It sounds like you have had more than one device do the same thing. What you have described sounds like a known issue solved by a software update. Try pulling the battery out of the device, wait 30 seconds, reinsert the battery and try powering it on. If you still cannot power on the device would need to be replaced. If the device does power on, make sure the software is up to date: http://vz.to/1nGx3rE .
    Should you need to replace the device make sure that once activated and initially connected that the software update is completed.

  • Nokia E52 dead after software update using Nokia S...

    I bought my Nokia E52 the day before yesterday. It is an early model (arrived at the store i September). But it worked fine, except for the bluetooth connection.
    I tried to update the software using Nokia Software Updater via the USB cable. But it lost connection (I didn't touch the cable nor the phone at the time, and the computer was workning fine). After that I tried it again a couple of time, but it lost connection. It seems the USB-micro connecter on the phone is defective. 
    Finally its seemed to worked, but after a long period of time it lost connection again and this time the phone was dead. The computer couldn't find it when I connected the USB cable and the screen was dead, nothing happend when I push the powerbutton, except it vibrated once as normal after that nothing happend.
    The screen was dead, the numberpad was not lighted. I removed the battery and waited a couple of minutes and tried again. Nothing happend. I tried to reset the phone by using buttons '3', '*', 'anwesring-bottun' and powerbutton. Nothing happend.
    Obvious the software update were unsuccesful but is my phone beyond repair? Is the warrenty/guarantee still valid?

    Your phone will be repaired in a nokia care point. Usually they fix this problem whenever it occurs during a software update. If that key combination didn't help in your case, then it's definitely a point to go to a care point. I think it is covered by warantee but I'd advise you to call the service point just in case to check with them.

  • Fairly new battery not charging after not being used for a while

    My computer (Elitebook 2530p) has not been used for a while, perhaps a month or two. The battery used to hold for over 3 hours of light use.
    Now, the battery won't charge with the message "0% available (plugged in, not charging)"
    I can't find a battery refresh utility in the BIOS, or any way to interact with the battery. Is there something I'm missing? Should the battery just go dead after not being used for a while?
    Update: fixed typo

    I've run the HP battery check and got the code REOOW. Battery is dead, and I am out of warranty. I can't think of any possible reason why this should have happened.
    What does this code (REOOW) mean?

  • Battery dead within 10 days of use. Lenovo G580 Laptop

    Recently I bought a new Lenovo G580 Laptop in the Emirates and after using it for 10 days, the battery got dead. I never used the laptop while it was on the charging mode and took complete care as it is brand new. Also used to charge it once in a couple of days. It is a disappointed since its a brand new machine. Anyone also facing this problem?

    @manay,
    Try removing the AC and battery then hold power button for 3 seconds, repeat this 3 times then put the AC and battery back and see if it helps.
    Also try leaving the AC on and charge the laptop for the night. If problem persist then contact support to get the hardware checked.

    I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

  • I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day.  It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account.  The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines.  Any ideas what is causing this?

    I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day.  It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account.  The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines.  I have been to the local Genius bar and through trial and error we have determined that Mail is working ok but somehow the account is causing the problem.  I have used this account for years.  Any ideas what is causing this?

    No idea why, but one thing you may try if you have the time, is create a new user, and set up the problem mail account in the new user space. See if it causes your MBP to hang as well.  That will tell you if it is something wrong with your main User, or something wrong with MBP.
    Assuming this works, I'd nuke the problem account in your main user space, re-start, and reinititate the account and see if that helps.
    Depening on how many email accounts you have setup, it may be necessary to nuke the whole Mail folder in your User/Library....   Hard way to get it to work, but just my idea.

  • InDesign6 doesn't recognize plugins after a day of use.

    I am on OS X 7.5. I have reloaded InDesign6 several times. After about a day of use, it no longer recognizes some plugin's. Every time I open it, more are added to the list.
    Can anyone help?
    The Application Managre keeps going bad too where I have to reinstall that.

    I installed the product and went through the same errors with InDesign with the plugin's failing after working a day. I uninstalled it ALL. Ran the Cleaner. And reinstalled. Still ended up with the same errors after one day of InDesign working.

  • Creative ZEN died....after ONE day of use

    Okay, so I got this thing as a present for my birthday yesterday, I was really happy, it being my first mp3 and all. Well, I took EXTREMELY good care of this. But then, before I go to bed, I decided to add one more picture onto it. So, I plugged it into my USB port, as usual, but then the unthinkable happens. It shows the battery charge at the top right corner of the screen for a split second, then there's a small flash, then it died. I can no longer turn it on. AFTER ONE DAY OF USE!!! Thing is, I didn't even use it that much. PLEASE HELP!!! There's no way for me to get another one,. please, how can I make it turn on again!

  • In the last 2 days (after years of use) I can't open my hotmail due to pop-up default aspx? what to do?

    After years of using google (through firefox) to access my hotmail account; all of a sudden, in the past 2 days, I can no longer access hotmail; I get "default.aspx" box popping up. What's up with that! Please advise for fix!

    Hi Darren,
    What operating system are you currently running on?  Based on that, the driver support will be different.  Reference this table for more information:
    http://www.ni.com/white-paper/6910/en/#eseries
    It looks like you might need a newer version of our DAQ Drivers.  Is the other computer that is running correctly still using DAQ 6.5.1?

  • Received a replacment 6th gen for a defective older version.  Battery on new version is dead after only four moths.  Was told I would have to purchase repair ($60) because 30 days had expired.  I think it may be time to say goodbye to Ipod.

    This is pretty sad.  The battery is dead after four months (and this was a repacement product from a previously defective model).  I think it is ridiculous that beacuse I am over the 90 day period by a month that I should have to pay a service fee.  I understand the fee,but on a four-moth old product that is replacing an older version with the same problem?

    That is a fit of bad luck right. You can still try to schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store's Genius Bar and explain to them what has happened.  They may be willing to swap it out for you again at no cost, but of course, they are under no obligation to do so.  The appointment is free except for your time.

  • Core i7 iMacs become sluggish after 1-2 days of use.

    Nobody seems to have this issue, but I'm on my replacement Core i7 and both machines suffer the symptom of becoming very sluggish after 1-2 days of use. I've checked activity monitor and my CPUs are practically idle, and I can quit all my apps and have gigs of ram available. But anything running is very sluggish after a few days being on. The only fix is to restart the computer.
    When I say sluggish, I mean apps freeze randomly, switching between apps and even tabs within apps take seconds, and even tabbing between text fields is slow.
    I'm really not sure what it could be. Anyone else suffer these symptoms? After a restart, my system is blazing fast. After about a day and a half, it's much slower than my macbook pro. I still don't know if this is a hardware or software issue.

    Hi,
    when I first bought the iMac i7, I though I would be amazed by the speed, but I wasn't at all.
    I've tried to do fresh install, and after that, install apps one by one, new settings, etc, except my home folder which I imported. Not much changed.
    In my opinion takes too much time to open iTunes or iPhoto, and I don't have libraries too large, just about 10 Gigs each... still, scrolling within these apps is not as smooth as I would expect.
    Also, I've tried playing Dragon Age: Origins via Bootcamp and OSX, it works very goos within the first hour, but when it starts to heat up, it becomes very sluggish and the frame rate drops very significantly.
    The heat, the heat is something very noticeable when running for a while, also is summer time in Spain right now, that doesn't help much, but still, comparing with my iMac CoreDuo (early 2006), it gets too warm and the difference in speed is not as you would expect from a widely claimed "beast".
    Since this happens using Windows 7 or Snow Leopard, I do not think is a software issue, but hardware related.
    will wait for winter to enjoy a better machine I guess..

  • TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I just bought my phone few days ago. From the day I bought it I realized the phone heats up after a little use. It gets really hot while using Wifi and downloading. Anyone else having these issues? What's the solution to this?

    Your VGA is definitely corrupted and it is irreparable, so just make the HP to change your vga.
    Also next time read my post on how to keep your laptop cool to avoid same issues again.
    I assume your laptop was pretty hot during some time and that's the result you've got.

  • After fully charged, the battery down to zero after 2 days without using it?

    Is it normal?  As I have fully charged the ipad and stand it for 2 days without using it,   The battery drops to zero?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

  • Satellite L670 - Hard Disk Dead after 8 months only

    Hi,
    this morning I had to retunr my laptop due to bad hard disk problem. After 8 months, it's dead already.
    The positive points are: I am still under warranty and second the toshiba software hilighted me on time, allowing me to back up my data before the crash. Tks Toshiba for this tool, very usefull.
    The question is, how can a hard disk die that quick after just fews months ?
    Bad luck or bad use ? I am wondering.
    I wish to have a feedback from those who owns same model, L670 (windows 7), to understand if this problem is commun or if I was unluckily concerned.
    Also, if there are possible solutions to avoid HD stress in the daily use ? Like for example, reduce writing on it (back up of blu-ray using AnyDvD HD ON hd, then cut&paste to external HD), or to not connect too often external hard disk to avoid electricity surcharge if any ?
    In future, will I have to perform chkdsk more often ? Defrag ? If yes, at which frequency ?
    This is my 3rd laptop dying, Sony VAIO = mothercard dead after 1.2 years, Fujitsu Amilo xi = explosed after 3 years, and now Toshiba HD after 8 months.
    From 900EUR up to 1600EUR, I do not see a significative resistance of one of those models, Sony was the badest ever in terms of video card longevity and compatibility (games unplayable after 2 months, no driver update), keyboard "painting" was a mess with deterioration after fews months compared to Fujitsu and Toshiba (no pb). Toshiba L670 more recent, was the best in terms of game compatibility.
    What to do ? Stop buying laptop or use it only fews hours a day with a PC on top ?
    For time beeing I can't afford to have a PC + a laptop as I am unemployed, surviving with 10EUR/day,
    time to find a job again.
    Despite this situation, I managed to buy new Zelman notebook cooler for my Toshiba at around 40/50EUR, but, it didn't help apparently.
    Tks for feedback about L670 duration life, and particulary HD problem + best use to protect it.
    Guillaume

    You're not the only one.
    I bought an L670 in September last year. It was strictly for home use as replacement for a desktop PC, so it was never moved.
    Just after a few weeks things started to go wrong: boot fails, programs crashing, Windows 7 crashing...
    It's almost 7 months now since purchase and I'm writing this message on the very same notebook with 'Hard Disk Sentinel' running in the background, reporting more bad sectors every day. It tells me that hard disk health is now down to only 9% and that it has an estimated 14 days to live.
    Since the notebook is technically still running fine, I don't think I can have the HDD replaced under warranty or am I wrong? Does the HDD have to cease working alltogether before I can have it replaced under warranty?

  • Why does my iPhone 5 battery runs dead after only 5 hours in standby?

    My brand new iPhone 5 runds completely dead after only 5 hours standby.
    I might have done 2 or 3 calls, I switched off all the apps that are running in the background.
    Wifi and bluetooth are on, and should stay on.
    My old iPhone4 could work almost 2 days without recharging....
    I have looked at different blogs and websites and set most of those tips and tricks, but without success... my phone is 1 day old and already synced....
    Is there something big that I'm overlooking?

    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
    also recalibrate the battery, let if fully drain to where your phone shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.
