How do I know if my optical drive isn't working?
My Optical drive reads CDs, but it won't burn/write CDs. I have tried 3 different brands of media. I haven't cleaned the lens. My Macbook is 6 years old. Is there a diagnostic or a sure way of knowing it is kaput?
If it needs replacing, is it more economical to buy an external CD burner or will I need the optical drive for something else. I can't burn DVDs.
Thank you
Is this a good question?
