Hi all,
I've had my Macbook for about a year and a half and it's under the Applecare Protection Plan. This is going to sound really lame, but earlier today I fell down the stairs and dropped it. It didn't fall far, only a couple feet, and it was closed and asleep at the time (it landed upside-down). I had a DVD in the drive at the time, and when I opened the Macbook it ejected the disc right away. Ever since then, it won't read any disc that I put in - it just makes whirring/grinding noises for about 30 sec and ejects the disc without it showing up on the desktop or anything. I've tried restarting it and looked at DiskUtility (but couldn't figure that out to save my life), and I don't know what else to do short of bringing it to the shop. I really don't want to do that, though, since the last time I took it in it came back with more problems than it had before. Is there anything I can do to make it read discs again?
Thanks!
Edit: Reset the PRAM and NVRAM because I heard that might help, but it didn't do anything.
