My superdrive stopped being able to read discs last a few days ago. I was trying to burn ubuntu onto a dvd and it didn't like any of the discs, one of them eventually worked even though it was the same type and brand. Then I also put it onto a cd-rw and it worked but it seemed to take forever. Now I can't get any disc to mount. I would put in a disc and it sometimes spinned all the way up and then stopped. It would try to do this over and over, and I wouldn't be able to eject, the only way I could get it it out was to restart the computer. I tried this in leopard and bootcamp, with XP basically freezing up. I tried cd-r,cd-rw,dvd-r,dvd-rw and none of them were able to mount, just spins up and down forever.
Should I do a hardware test, or would that just tell me what I already know? Would a DVD drive cleaner void the warranty at all? If I took it to an Apple store how long would it take to replace the superdrive? I was hoping I could take it back for Thanksgiving and get it replaced that weekend or else I would have to wait for Christmas break.
I'm guessing other people have had this problem.
