- ACK! My basically-prestine NeXT CDROM player has stopped accepting CD's...
- and I don't mean that it doesn't mount then, I mean that the mechanism for
- loading the caddy into the reader is buggered up. It simply just won't
- swallow the caddy and drop it down inside for reading (despite the fact that
- it seems to insert the full distance required).
-
- I'm taking it back to be serviced (it's still within the warrantee... or is
- the CDROM player a 90-day warrantee? Hmmmm... [rummaging for manual] Whew!
- "NeXT warrants that all new hardware ... will be free from defects ... for
- one year from the date of delivery to the end user purchaser.")
-
- ...but anyhow, my question is this: has anyone else had problems of this kind?
- I always thought that my spring mechanism (on my CDROM player :-) was kinda
- weak.
