took my late 06' mbp to see what was up with the super drive. when i would put a disc in it wouldnt read it, make some noises, and spit it back out. apple says it needs to be replaced for $250. anyone have any cheaper options to fix this? i want to fix it so i can sell it and upgrade.
Got a tip for us?
