Our Macbook CoreDuo 2ghz has a bad Superdrive and we're out of warranty. The problem is that CDs do not mount. DVDs work and as far as I know, burning DVDs does as well. I had problems trying to burn CDs a little while back, but eventually got it working using Disk Utility rather than Toast.
So anyways, I'm looking at buying a replacement Superdrive. They're selling DL ones now, so that'll be an upgrade.
So what's the question...
1. The cheapest place I found was PowerbookMedic.com ($150 + 6 s/h). Anyone do business with them before? I also found it at Meritline for the same price, but the listed specs were funny and I'm not sure if it's the exact same model (UJ-857-C).
2. Since the current Superdrive still sort of works, I was thinking of getting an external enclosure for it. I found this at Meritline and other places. It's designed for a 12.7mm drive, whereas the Superdrives in Macbooks are 9.5mm. Anyone think I'll have issues with this?
Thanks
