I have had this problem for well over four months at this point and never got around to trying to remedy the issue. The original optical drive died in my Macbook. I purchased a new drive and went about installing it. Taking apart the laptop proved to be a huge pain. Eventually I got the new drive in and everything appeared to work fine. It played DVD's, burned discs, and all was well. Then I put a DVD in the drive (which it accepted) but refuses to play it or eject it.
Four months later the disc is still in the drive, the Macbook doesn't acknowledge the fact that there is a disc in the drive, and it won't eject the disc that is in the drive. It says "No Drives" and refuses to do anything. When booting, you can audibly hear the disc spinning but that's it.
I have tried the "hold down the mouse button" while booting, which didn't work. I am hesitant to open the laptop up because it's such a pain. Part of me thinks this has to do with region settings but I can't confirm.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
