Alright so I just want to know if I should be worried or not about this:
Lately, when I open the lid, the drive starts "moaning". You know that sound as if you just inserted a CD or DVD into it. It does it three times with a couple of seconds gap in between.
It still reads just fine, I just tried it with a DVD, but I'm still concerned about the sound.
Usually there is just a small and short sound when opening the lid, just like when booting up, when (as much as I can figure) the head realigns to center.
Anyone?
Cheers!

time to contact apple care?

Chances are your superdrive might be slowly dying. If you still have lots of warranty left, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. Otherwise, give AppleCare a call.

Thanks guys. My initial one year warranty expires sometime in October '09.
I will get the Apple Care first chance I get though.
So the initial warranty should cover this? -
yeap,it does
-
yeah, i think its time to call apple.
-
In that case, you might want to call AppleCare.

Thanks guys, it kind of stopped doing it now. It's really weird.
I will call Apple though, just to be on the safe side.
On the other hand, I can't give my computer away for repairs just yet. Maybe walk in a store and see if they can fix it in a couple of hours.
I can't be without a computer for a week...
