moony3424 Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I was using a cd in my computer this morning when I heard and felt a pop. My cd had shattered inside my computer! I've never heard of that happening before. Anyone know what might have happened & if it could happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Apple a Day Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Yes, I have heard of that happening. You most likely had a Cd that was either flawed/cracked or cut/made off balanced. (wobbles) The faster the Cd-rom/Dvd drive spins up, the more likely it will happen with a bad cd. Some of my cd's I own make a terrible hum or racket but have not had any break yet. Good quality well know brands are less likely to have defects and life-time replacement warranties. But I am frugal and look for good deals too. The early bird gets the worm..the second mouse gets the cheese! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moony3424 Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Thanks Apple. I didn't have a choice in getting the cd. It's an instuctional cd that is required for a class that I'm taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
