Question about my dvd drive

I purchased my ZV6000 in late September. Starting a few months ago I have realized my drive (dvd burner and cd burner) doesn't always resond correctly. By this I mean, I will push the button and it won't always eject, sometimes taking numerous times to get it to open.

Once I insert a cd, dvd or game it won't always load the disc (these disks are in working condition).

And finally I have trouble ejecting discs from the drive. I have had trouble with skipping during playback which was resolved with HP support. Also, my laptop will stop playing a disc if it is picked up or moved during playback.

I am becoming more and more irritated by my drive not opening, recognizing discs, and ejecting. Does this sound like a defective drive to you guys/girls? I have reinstalled drivers but no problems have been permanently solved. HP says it isn't a defective drive because "drives don't go bad that quick". Do you think I should call HP again and ask for a new drive? Thanks.

 

yes, you probably should. before your warranty is out

 

Thanks for the input. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so, how has HP been with requesting and receiving a new drive?
