I recently purchased an Acer TimelineU M5-481T-6642 14-Inch Ultrabook.  During startup and shutdown there is noise from the CD/DVD tray as if the tray is trying to open. I have not put a CD or DVD into the tray yet.  How can I stop this annoying sound, action from happening in my new ultrabook?  Thanks.

    Mine doesn't make any discernable noise at start-up or otherwise so I'd get it checked out.

    Good day

     

    Open the optical drive, restart the machine and see if the noise is still there? If the noise is abnormal to you, take the machine to Acer repair centre for assessment.

    Thanks. I did it twice but it did not stop the sound/action. Is this normal for Acer laptops/ultrabooks? If it is, I won't worry about it.

    Thank you.  I noticed last night that the light on the CD DVD drive area also comes on during the sound.
