Q: faulty internal drive making noise even when empty
My internal DVD drive is faulty and continues to make noise as if a disc is stuck in there. The noise stops when the computer goes into sleep mode. This is a 2007 iMac and probably not worth the cost of a repair. Is there any way to stop the noise by turning off the drive or somehow ejecting it from the hardware list. The computer works beautifully in every other aspect. I suppose I could learn to live with the noise but would rather not if someone out there has a solution. Thanks
