    Any solution to loud slot-load drive on XPS m1530?

    I was unable to find one, but does anyone have a solution for the really loud eject noise when waking the XPS m1530 from sleep?

    I'm open to suggestions that even include disabling the drive altogether if it works.

    The problem is, I like to have some tasks at night like virus scans/defrags but I live in a dorm, so that noise is really annoying when I want to sleep. I'd rather not just leave my computer on all the time or have to remember when to leave it on for a scan. Ideally, it has a normal sleep when I close the lid, and it wakes up without the eject sound.

    Solutions?

    Replace it? It's a slot loaded so more of a pain to replace than a tray loaded ODD.

    I've also seen upper/lower filters cause noisy ODD. Try that fix.
