Hi guys!!

I've got a 13" white macbook which I've modified a bit over the time (bigger hard drive, more RAM).
Last week I purchased a dvd-dl superdrive to replace my old combodrive. So I opened my macbook and replaced the old unit (which was a fidly job, but fun to do).
Screwed everything back together and voila: No go!! It spat every disc I inserted right out. Weird though, because it was recognized by OSX and all seemed to be good. So I unscrewed the macbook again to see If I missed something. I checked my old combodrive for parts that I should have attached to the new drive, but hadn't missed anything.
So then I started looking on the internet and I hear all kinds of people talking about a bezel?? What should the bezel on a superdrive look like? My old combodrive (which came right out of the apple factory) certainly didn't have one!!
Then I discovered that when I pushed a little on the drive when inserting a disc it worked fine. So I screwed everything back together and now it works perfectly.. (??).
So now my question is: Does a superdrive suppose to have a bezel? If yes, does somebody have a picture of this?
I'm kinda worried that I haven't really solved the problem and the fact that it works right is coincidental.
Thanks in advance
