Q: Optical drive kaput?
I've got a 2011 MacBookPro with optical disk reader that is apparently on the fritz. I put a disk in the drive this morning and it seemed to work just fine: spun-up, disk icon appeared on my desktop, no problem. Ejected that disk and put in another but heard a noise that sounded like the drive was spinning up, then back down and repeated this sequence several times before ejecting the disk altogether. Tried several other disks with the same result, including the disk that had a few minutes previously opened just fine! -Greg
