Q: MacBook Pro Optical Drive Ejects 3 times on Startup
I have a mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro and the optical drive is acting up.
Upon startup, the optical drive will make three attempts at what sounds like ejecting, then stop making noise. After the MBP startup, when I try to insert a disc the drive will not suck in the disc not matter how far it is inserted.
I can open Terminal an run a drutil eject command and wait for the perfect time to get the disc in and read. However, after ejecting it will re-make the three-attempt-eject sound and stop just as during startup.
I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC. Any other ideas?
