Apr 27, 2016 7:16 PM in response to iCareby iEye1,"How far are you able to insert the disc? Does it feel like it is hitting anything solid when it won't go in any further?" iCare, this is my exact problem. On top of this, every time I start up my white macbook from sleep, restart, or shut down, the optical drive makes the noise it makes as though if you just inserted a disk. The problem is that I dont have to insert a disk for it to make a noise. What would you recommend?

Aug 26, 2016 10:42 AM in response to eh1255by evstein,I have this same issue. It occurs with the drive on all machines. When the computer boots up, I hear 4 drive noises.
The drive accepts the disk being pushed all the way in until the edge of the slot and then a spring pushes the disk back out. It never draws the disk in.
OS 10.11.6
MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2012)

I have tried 'drutil eject' with no disk, disk pushed all the way in, and disk halfway in. The drive is stored in the box and is used infrequently.
