DVD drive making loud noise - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly · 07-27-2010, 06:39 PM

Just trying to play a DVD and the drive is making a really loud noise. It brings up a DVD fine and allows it to play, but the drive makes this whirling sound. Very mechanical sound. I stopped the DVD and the noise continued for about another minute, then it stopped.

DVD drive dying?

yeah, the drive could definitely be dying.

On all dvds or just that one?

New dvd burners are only about $20 for OEM (drive only) and $30 for retail (cable and burning software) on Newegg.

Turn down your speaker volume...

Could it be the disc itself? Those things spin pretty fast. I have to occasionally "reseat" a DVD in my player because it's making unusual noises when it spins up.

Go order one for 5 bucks from Amazon. Problem solved.

So, what was it?

It's not about the drive, most likely it's just bad/unbalanced disc.
Try few other ones.

I had a batch of CDs that all burnt badly at too high a speed and would made the CD player shake.

my g/f's sony vaio laptop has had a noisy dvd drive for over a year now. As the computer is over 5 yrs old I keep expecting it to crap out but so far so good.
It also had a noisy HD and I was sure it would die however it cured itself and the computer is still going strong.

I know at some point the HD will die so I just make sure to backup the drive each night.
