On my 8100AV the cd player died on me last week. I took it to an 
Apple reseller to take a look at it an was told a new mechanism was 
needed. My warranty expired five weeks ago and did I feel cheesed 
off.
Condidering that the CD hardly gets a use except the occassional 
software cd, I thought I would ring Apple customer relations to see 
if there is anything they could do about it. I got the Bad luck you 
should have got the extended warranty - and now YOU will have to 
shell out a couple of hundred dollars - not us.
The player was the sony mechanism double speed that was bundled with 
most macs. Does this mechanism have such a short lifespan of around 
a year?
Should I talk to Sony? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Andrew
