    I just got a new M14 today and I noticed that every once in a while the slot load drive will make a noise as if it's ejecting a disc for no reason. It's pretty loud/annoying. Has anyone had this problem or is this normal? Thanks.

    Its normal, my new M14 does it as well with my M17. It also did it on my M17x and the old m14x I had as well. Nothing to worry about. Sounds weird the first time I have to admit. Mine does it every time I open itunes or media players etc.
