    So I received my replacement 1330 today due to a loose battery
    looks like they put a HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N in my replacement and before I had a Matsu****a
    but now I noticed when I pick up my 1330 and move it around while there is a dvd spinning I hear a loud noise like the DVD is hitting something, this didnt happen before
    it doesnt appear to scratch the DVD though
    just wanted to know if this is normal

    If you hold the M1330 at a certain angle while the disc is spinning it should make some noise. Not like it's hitting something, necessarily, but as if it were brushing against something as it spins.

    Basically, a relatively quiet, consistent noise is okay, but if you hear like TAP TAP TAP TAP then it's hitting something.
