I defintitely gotta agree on that! Sounds, and smells both are bad things. at first I would say that it's something in the arm that controls the read/write head, but that "screech" makes me wonder.

I hope its still under warranty ;)

LOL at least it's not one of those "my cupholder is broken" issues! :lol:
