Long story short: A 5-10lb speaker fell on my White Unibody MacBook. It dented the bottom cover (thank god it fell on the bottom, not the top) and the superdrive won't work. It is not under warranty due to water damage (I didn't do it). I will take it to the local Apple Store to see if they can fix it free (I know a few geniuses/retail workers there who might be able to hook me up). If not, I will order a new drive and install it myself. I am extremely comfortable taking apart MacBook/Pros (heck, I have reapplied thermal paste on a 6 month-old MacBook Pro). If anyone has a SATA superdrive from a MacBook/Pro that they can give to me free, pm me. I need some links to places where I can buy a cheap superdrive. I might even buy off of eBay from a top-rated seller. Can I get some links please? Thanks.

More info: The MacBook is actually my mom's. She doesn't use the disc drive a lot, but wants it to get fixed. It is my fault for dropping the speaker. She doesn't care about the dent.
