I have burn some dvds using the burner before, yesterday it started to make humming noise, i thought it may have been the CPU overheating, so i turned it off, and this afternoon i tried to burn another dvd, and the burner seems to be the one making the humming noise..... when i put my hand on the close tray, i feel a little vibration. Is the burner dying?? or could it be something else?

I've burned dvds before, the burner never made the humming noise that loud. Is it normal for a dvd burner to become louder as times and use goes on???

Does it make the noise with no DVD in the drive? I'd worry about your hard drive.
If the noise is coming from the DVD drive, you are probably losing a motor bearing. Time to replace the drive.

You might check the media you're using. Try reading some data off of CD-ROMs, DVDs, other than the DVDs you're trying to write to. Does it still hum? I've encountered certain DVDs or CDs that are a slight bit off balance, which hum very loudly when inserted. Hopefully you just have some of those. Otherwise, your drive could be dying...

If it truly is a sparkling noise, and it would not often hum like that, there might want to be a difficulty. if so, verify the burning application to make confident the technique continues to be going alongside easily. often times a disc can get stuck halfway by ability of the technique, and start up spinning right now, making an marvelous loud sound. If it continues to be like that too lengthy it may ruin the laser and make thechronic ineffective. in case you want to emergency-eject a disc, discover the tiny pinhole interior the front of thechronic, and push an opened up paperclip by ability of the hollow, to come back out the disc.

Well....when it's burning at a high speed, the disc inside the burner is spinning. Therefore, it creates vibration.......
At least, that's what I think you're saying. There's no vibration when there's no disc inside the drive, right?
