Superdrive Update 2.1 killed drive

I updated my superdrive using the 2.1 update and now
my drive does not work at all.

Same here. Installed the update & now my drive seems
dead. Nothing happens when I try to enter a disk.
Anyone know if there is a diagnostics for the drive?
Is it possible to uninstall a firmware update? I
really need my drive for important project. THANKS!

Same problem. I call Apple and he said change the DVD, the firmware is not installed correctly.... Apple say no diagnostics for the drive... no uninstall this firmware.. simply change the DVD... Your DVD is now dead.
Good news...


MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

2.1 update killed my drive last night!
Is this an installer virus????

No, it's not a virus... it's only this firmware... Many mac is working fine, but many mac is killed the drive. If this firmware kill your drive, change the drive. This firmware disable your DVD, and your DVD now is never work agan. In your mac your DVD now is never talk to your bus, because the firmware is hardware program, if this program is not install fine your hardware not working..

Thanks Apple - I am impressed!

Your are impresse beacause your superdrive is in under warranty, but me the warranty is finish 10 days ago. All of replacement i pay for this... When i call Apple he charge me...
My macbook pro have juste 1 year and 10 days...

Moral to the story: Do nothing. Wait until Apple
releases another superdrive firmware update to fix
this.

If your DVD not accept the disk, Your DVD is DEAD... Apple can't fix with another firmware because the firmware is hardware software.. and this firmware broke your DVD... Change the DVD your DVD is finish...

Hi, one question. Is the change from your superdrive free of charge?

Hi, one question. Is the change from your superdrive

If the computer is under warranty, yes. Otherwise, expect to pay around 4-500 dollars for a drive replacement.

Are you speaking from personal experience DeathApples, as my MBP isn't under warranty anymore, and it doesn't seem quite fair that I should be the one to foot the bill for a replacement drive that Apple's own update seems to have broken.

I'm getting a similar issue as well, the drive itself seems ok but it cant read any CDs that i put in it.

going to play the wait and see game.

yip this has just happened to me now.
my drive doens't do anything.
will apple change this for us?

i mean it wasn't our fault.
the update just bombed it out?

This should help with the "No device found to update" messages:

And this thread is directly related to this issue, also:

The Superdrive Update 2.1 killed my drive as well. The drive no longer accepts any CDs or DVDs. It won't grab any discs.
