One fine morning, my new SR 2.2 MBP's superdrive is dead. It does not recognize let alone read CD/DVD.
Given that I bought in late July, I have not installed firmware update 2.1 which seems to be causing this problem to a lot of machines. I tried searching in various sites including Macrumors with no practical gain.
I called
support and the tech verified I had not installed the update 2.1 and there is no prev disks are blocking the drive. Then she asked me to restart and hold #/option/p/r. No improvement.
This is the first defective part in any of the electronics I had bought. Makes me go mad.

I love my MBP very much but this utter failure of one of the parts gets me worried and annoyed.
Any one has any helpful advice in this regard before I hand over my machine to the "geniuses"?
