Optical Drive incredibly loud with lots of vibrations

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Just got my gaming laptop today... everything seems good except for two things. 1) no wireless card, but that was my fault (forgot to add it in the order... doh!) 2) the optical drive is incredibly loud. is this normal? when it is in use it sounds like an airplane in flight! seriously.

could something be loose? it's almost embarrassing to run anything from my optical drive now.
