Dead CD/DVD Drive?

[tai27]

I have a Macbook Pro Late 2009 model, I just inserted a disc and it won't take the disc at all. Do I have a dead drive? What should i do?

Thanks.

I have.

Have you tried the install disk that came with your Mac? Booting from it?

Yep, won't work either 🙁

Then it sounds like it is. You're still under warranty so let Apple deal with it

Do you reckon they would be able to repair it on the spot?

If they are not busy and have the parts, yes. All Macs other than Pro use the same SuperDrive so they'll likely have it in stock. You could call them and ask
