• Disk drive issue

Recently my Macbook pro 15" has stopped accepting CDs and DVDs. Now, the drive spins up, starts making a clicking sound, and then stops. It repeats that about 3 times and then ejects the disk. I was just watching a DVD on it yesterday, so It a very new issue. I also tried the same disks in another macbook of the exact same model and had no issue. I'm on version 10.7.2.
Disk drive is dead

I barely use mine but the only time its even gotten kinda annoying is when i stuck one of those little chibi disks inside of it because you know i thought that it would be able to take it but it got stuck... I just ended up wiggling it around with a credit card and then it ended up taking it into the super drive and ejecting it back out!! Thanks Apple! Thapple

If you've had three superdrives die on the same MBP within the three year AppleCare coverage, call up technical support and talk to a "Senior Advisor" about a whole unit replacement. State that "you've lost faith in the product because it has had the same issue three times" and they would very likely just give you a new machine.

Good thing I have a TB drive to back up to.
