    Hi,
    I've had my MX7515 for about 2 weeks now (bought from Best Buy) and I really like it, however, over the last couple of days the DVD drive has started making a noise that I can only describe as a "squeaky cricket". It makes this noise during both reading and writing discs. I know the drive isn't supposed to be silent, but it is significantly louder than either the hard drive or the fan on the laptop and you can hear it with no problem from several feet away. I was just wondering if anyone else had a noisy drive, and do you think that the noise alone would be enough for me to be able to get the drive replaced?
