One solution to jammed discs in laptop Macs
Authored by: Dash_Merc on Aug 03, '07 07:47:40PM

Unusual solution here:

My MacBook likes to (only with certain CDs) make a grinding noise as the CD comes to a complete stop due to friction. After much toying around (including the occasionally successful restart-and-hold-down-mouse-button thing mentioned in the "manual," I tried holding my laptop upside-down while pressing (and holding, now) the eject button. It usually works for me.

Now if I could just get my computer to stop thinking every other blank CD-r is already written to.
