I have a 2008 (I think) 17" Macbook Pro, but the model identifier is MacBookPro5,1. On the EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237), there's no listing in that table that matches my computer... There's only a 15" Macbook Pro that corresponds with MacBookPro5,1. My Boot ROM Version and SMC Version both correspond with those provided alongside the 15" MacBookPro5,1.
Does this mean anything at all? And so that means there's no available firmware update for my SuperDrive... does anybody have any friggen clue as to how I can fix it? I really need it to work, obviously, it won't even read CDs properly, it's a real problem. In my Utilities folder there's a SuperDrive Update, however when I try running it I just get an error message saying, "There was a problem installing this update." This has been the case for as long as I can remember. (This Macbook was a hand-me-down from my uncle, as he's always upgrading to all the latest tech for his work.) I've had it for about 2 or 3 years now. If you happen to know anything that could help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate any input. Thanks a lot.
