    Hello all,

    The slot load drive on my Studio isn't accepting discs. It also makes a continuous noise whenever the laptop is running. This started yesterday after I ejected a disc. There wasn't any problem while the disc was inside the drive, and it ejected normally. I've tried with multiple discs, but it's of no use. Is there a way to fix this, or does the drive have to be replaced? Appreciate any help.

    Thanks,
    Anirudh

    call for warranty. more of a headache to try to fix it than just replace it.
