My laptop just ate a DVD? WTF?

I was just putting a blank DVD in my laptop and....I opened the drive and it was just GONE. It's disappeared inside the innards of my frickin' laptop. WTF?

I guess I had it sort on top of the drive spindle, not pressed all the way down. There's a little slit on the side, I turned it upside down and shook it a bit but it's not coming out. Laptop is still fine. WTF? WTF? WTF?

Just a wafer-thin mint, then. He's probably full.

Exactly. Now every DVD you burn will have an unborn brother.

Uh, it's called user error, reerun. Sure, if I bought a Mac with a slot-loading DVD drive it wouldn't have happened. Big deal. It's not causing any problems.

I'm just saying that a Mac would have prevented that. But at least the laptop was cheap eh? Nevermind the loose disk sliding around the motherboard blocking air flow..

Not necessarily. Only if it had a slot-loading drive.

By the way, it wasn't cheap. Go **** yourself.

Ahaha! It slid into the metal casing separating the motherboard and the case plastic. I just put a fingernail in there and it slid out. PRESTO!

Furthermore, it was user ****ing error and caused no problems whatsoever.

Sounds awfully cheap with disks going in the wrong places and such.. you know only one model of Mac doesn't have slot-loading drives, and it is tray loaded...

Pretty much any Mac would have prevented this....

There really aren't any crevices of adequate size on current models of Macs either. You'd have to be much more stupid to break it on a Mac....

Please. Show me a mac with a tray-loading DVD drive and I'll show you a mac with a crevice.

What a crock of shit.

Tell you what, while Sandy Limpdick grapples with his Mac over DVD ripping, I'll be over here picking the DVD out of my Toshiba's crevice. I wonder who has the bigger problem?

How much does it cost to replace your slot loading drive when it fails?

Macs are perfect.

I just got this brand new powerbook the other day.. friday to be exact. I got the 1.25 which i downgraded to a combodrive. .. it's amazing, i love it. But today I put a dvd in it and watched half of it. I was halfway through when I turned off the dvd and went to eject it. well, it didn't eject. it just sat there making a clicking sound trying to come out!!!

What the hell, this thing is brand new that shouldn't happen. so I talk to apple support and they tell me to try a number of things but to no avail the dvd still sits in there. I kept on restarting it and then finally a little bit of it was peaking through the slot so I grabbed tweezers and carefully removed it. so, yeah now the dvd is out. But now my computer doesn't recognize any cd-rom drive?? no dvd, nothing!

The drive seems like it's totally 100% FRIED. I'm a busy college student and have no time for this, now I have to return it to an authorized apple dealer and probably wait another 2 weeks for the stupid combo drive to be replaced.. has anyone here had anything like this happen to them?? I feel like im being teased by getting to play with this beautiful machine for 2 days then have to let it go for a while.
