The CD drive on my Mac is *really* loud...Should I be worried?

[bicentennial_baby]

I've run data cds for my Stats class before, and it wasn't like this. I just put in a new music cd, and the whole laptop is vibrating, and humming. :wtf:

Is this something to be concerned about? :scared:

1. A bad CD??

It might not be reading it and it keeps trying. :shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

3. No, it's playing fine...

Although I can barely listen to it with all the humming going on underneath....And I feel like I have a vibrator in my lap... x(

2. Oh SHit!

you've got e-coli in your CD drive!

Quick pour rubbing alcohol all over your computer, better yet, dunk it!

:silly:

Prolly your CD is warped or something and it isn't spinning smoothly.

:shrug:

19. I *so* need a foot rub!!

I walked like 20 blocks and through Boston Common and the Public Gardens with Sniffa today...Farther than I've walked since I was in Paris in '05. Also, while wearing flip flops and a 50lb backpack...My feet were so sore and sweaty, and in need of attention... x(

10. Is it a laptop?

When I was in the apple store a couple of months ago there was somebody there with their laptop complaining about the same thing. The techs told him it was normal...something to do with the platter thingy.

[bicentennial_baby]

12. Yes it is

There's an Apple store near me, I'll stop in there this weekend. Thank you! :hi:

13. You can go to apple.com

and make an online appointment. You arrive five minutes before your appointment time and you are taken right in!! I had to do that for my Ipod when it was acting up.

15. Sometimes music CDs have a labeling scheme that can throw the CD off balance

and when it starts spinning real fast, you get the washing machine effect.

If all CDs do it, there's a problem.
