Drive won't read any dvd-ejects it automatically after spinning some time

Macbook Pro CD/DVD Drive FIX!

Same here my DVD drive couldn't read any disks. Thanks for this forum I put 2 and 2 together and figured out that it may be too dirty inside the DVD drive.

Here is what I did that worked:

- Shutdown your Macbook Pro and if you can take out the battery do so also just in case for electrical shock.

- I used the cloth that I have to clean my glasses and I wrapped it around a steel ruler which is very thin. If you don't have a steel ruler you can use a flexible butter knife it will work as well. DO NOT USE A SHARP KNIFE, you will destroy the drive inside.

- I passed it inside the DVD drive, going back and forth, side by side a few times and made sure not to cut the front entrance DVD flaps of the Macbook Pro.

- Then I gently pulled the ruler out and found lots of dirt around the glass cleaner cloth.

- Put the Battery back in.

- Turned the Macbook Pro on, entered a DVD and a low pitch sound rang that read the DVD. The DVD popped up right away on my desktop! WOW!!!!!!

Hope this will help you guys, let me know if it helps! ;-)

superdrive not reading and spits out after .how to fix problem

PROBLEM SOLVED........I had this problem with my MBP-13 inch Mid 2010. I have tried many different solutions proposed here but unfortunately they weren't effective. Finally i noticed from a post that this is Mac-OSX DVD Drive calibration issue. Super simple solution : keep your MBP's right side up and hold it up when you are trying to insert any CD or DVD. Meanwhile the left side should be on a table so you should keep your macbook with an angle like 60 degree.

I had this problem last week. Tried all the fixes, PRAM, deleting system files etc. Thought the can of compressed air was a last resort before going to the Apple Store to be told I need a new Super-Drive. Couldn't believe it worked. Drive back to normal. I would now recommend the compressed air as the first thing anyone tries.

Good luck.

I made that **** fly thru the window............problem result!!! 🙂

Thanks, your tip worked for me!

After suffering my MacBook Pro failing to read my DVD's I simply bought an exterior DVD read re-write, and in three days I was enjoying all my DVD's for a remarkable low cost

if only...this...worked :)
