M macbookpro9 macrumors newbie Original poster Jul 25, 2010 1 0 Jul 25, 2010 #1 Hi all, just got a 13" mac book pro and when I carry it from one location to another I hear a noise coming from the Dvd drive. It sounds like a plate is loose. It usually only makes the sound once. I tried in "sleep" mode. Is this normal?
