Alright, maybe you can help me since Apple Tech Support is completely worthless.

I've got a 1GHZ TiBook with a Super Drive.

Anyway, it's not spinning up CDs/DVDs.

This problem started about a week ago. I'd be watching a DVD, and after about 45 minutes, the DVD would start freezing every 3 minutes or so - after about 15 minutes of that, it'd be down to freezing every 2 seconds. If I ejected the DVD, it wouldn't let me put it back in ( it'd just spit it out ).

However, the problem would go away as soon as I restarted ( and then repeat itself after 45 minutes of playing ).

Now though, it won't even let me stick the DVD in at all. ( Yes, I've tried like 10 different DVDs and like 10 CDs ).

Any suggestions?

Only one thing to do...


Take it out back to a nice, quiet place.  Then shoot it.

     OLD YELLER!!! NOOOOOOO!

Shots were nearly fired in my discussing with it last night. Any other suggestions?

     Wrap two feet of Primacord around it?

I dont suppose u have warranty on it?  Have you tried simply doing a repair permissions?  who knows...

Okay Typhy, if you can't get it working and decide to chunk it....

Send it to me, I'll hit it dead center from 800 yards with a .308 round and then send you a picture of it.

It's in my fucking laptop!

Sorry, Typhy. There's only one thing left to do:

Ah, a laptop!  Send me the whole thing then!  I'll give it a "proper" funeral.

I've never put a WHOLE laptop to sleep before.

I bet with something as big as a laptop, I could probably hit it from 1,000 yards.  hehehe[/size]  ;)

You guys are a hell of a lot of help. . . ;)

Sounds like a cache or ram problem to me.

Have you tried calling customer support?

And GS, bet with the m-84 you dould take it out from 2000 yards...if the damn thing was running that is. BTW, best means of sending it on its way on must be by multi-purpose.

Ok, seemingly impossible twist. . . My Super Drive problems are related to my External HD ( Maxtor 160GB drive ). I unplug the HD, everything works great.

I first started noticing problems with that HD a few months ago. It refused to mount, yet it caused crashing, so I left it unplugged for a month or so and had no problems. Now that I plugged it back in, my Super Drive stopped working, I didn't put the two together until tonight, when the External HD starting being a pain in the ass again, so I unplugged it --- suddenly, my drive works great.

The Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle is called the M82 you noob.

And although I don't currently own an M82 (I plan on getting one soon...never know when a robber is going to be driving up in an armored get-away car!), my Remington 700 chambered in .308 cal will do just fine (the civilian equivalent to the M24 sniper rifle).

Sorry then...i guess i dont know much about guns then...not that I worry too much. they go bang, something is hit.
