    My alienware M17x R3 auto ejects the dvd's I insert in it. It used to accept them, but now it doesn't.

    What happens is, I put a Dvd in, it acceps it, spins somewhat and after a couple of seconds ejects it again.

    Any suggestions?

    Try a FW update, try a different CD. Does it happen in safe mode?
    If you continue to have the issue send me a PM with your tag # and I'll give you the options that we currently have to replace parts.
