MacBook A1181 Reject any disk

Hi,

I've a MacBook A1181 Late 2006 that reject disk.

Everything's works fine, freshly installed Lion on a new SSD but the internal burner

doesn't read disk.

I can insert the disk but after few seconds it will come back out.

Any suggests?

Thanks to all for your kindly support

Marco

The disc can’t be burned because the disc drive is not accessible (error code 0xFFFFFFFF80020020). Macbook Pro 14 inch 2021 on macOS 12.0.1 trying to burn a cd on an external drive using Finder, but I keep on getting this error code. Any fix for this?

USB SSD as a boot drive on MacBook Air 2012 / Failing to boot after few days Hi, recently internal SSD died on parents' MacBook Air 2012 and as the machine is otherwise fine and the Apple's internal SSD is not available in here, I chose to go with external SSD (as the laptop sits only on the desk really). I installed Lion via Web Install, and gradually upgraded it to Sierra, as the newest compatible version of macOS. Everything worked well until today - after a restart the Macbook displays the Apple logo (the one with progress bar underneath, so, I presume, the OS loading screen), the progress will go to around 25% and then the laptop crashes. As I am not near the machine, I cannot verify healthiness of the drive itself, but parents tried to unlplug everything and reset NVRAM and SMC Does somebody know any reason for this behaviour? (except the rudementary ones, such as "dead drive, lol") :) Thank you

Hi,

Think your internal Super Drive is malfunction. You need to repair or replace it.

If you can replace it by yourself, you can find internal Super Drive for your MacBook at eBay.
