	I mean, if it doesn't go in, you can be pretty sure you've got a busted optical drive heh In which case, I would take the 1hr drive to Apple...so long as there's no visible damage to the unit. :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

oh oh oh oh oh it went in! I had to push it in almost all the way for it to realize it was there, but it took the CD! It made strange noises when i tilted it to check the sound quality of the speakers, but...it spit the CD out and everything too.

Phew! Okay...I think I can wait until Friday to go up to the store. My computer is still usable since I don't need to use the CD drive to function. I'm going up to Kansas City to celebrate my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary, so I'll be around there and can sneak away to have it looked at and taken care of then.

Oh excellent, never force it though, if it just won't go leave it haha Does it read CDs/DVD and such? Also try it with a CD you don't really care about just incase it scratches the hell out of it, wouldn't want to ruin a good CD ya know!

If everything else is okay then I'd say keep using while noting anything else that's wrong it, that happened, that way you're prepared.

I suggest hitting up the Apple website, and scheduling yourself a Genius Bar appointment, that way, you just show up when you appointment is and you're taken care of!

I got the computer in October of 06. I have no idea how long my warranty is for xDD

I do have the white one, but my spots are more gray than yellow/brown (at least I have that going for me, yeah?).

Well, I didn't force it, it slid in easily until it grabbed. It's just that it grabbed with maybe half an inch of the disk showing instead of half of the entire disk. It read the CD (one I burned), was trying to import it, and worked on random (I figured that was a little more abusive on it than just playing straight through). I'm afraid to stick a DVD in, though, because I'm kinda attached to all the ones I've got.

Probably a stupid question, but will the computer still work with casing damage? I've got the whole poor college student thing going for me.

Yeah, if you didn't get the AppleCare which you should almost always get with laptops, I say give the desktops a year, if nothing happens within the year then you probably don't need the AppleCare, but anyways, if you didn't it, you're definitely out of warranty.

If you don't have the brown/yellow spots, then yay, haha It's kinda gross...they definitely used the wrong plastics haha

Well if it played the CD on random I think it's doing well!!

It'll definitely work with case damage, it's usually just a cosmetics thing, at least as far as we know right now, it'll probably take Apple looking at it to know if there's something else going on inside...and hopefully in your case, it's okay in there!
