[muglo] Macbook DVD super drive

Eurogarth,
      I had the same thing happen with my macbook at the young age of  
16 mos. My son says that some forums have said that this drive should  
have been recalled by apple based on the sheer number of early  
deaths.  I took mine to Mostly Digital in London and the repair tag  
would have been about 350 (about the same if you take it to an Apple  
store for shipment to Cupertino). I did search for an external  
however, and found that the superdrive that is made for the Macbook  
Air is NOT compatible with any other Macbook. i did find a slim DVD  
drive made by LG for about 120 bucks, but the reviews on it are  
mixed.  I guess the option is to find something used or bite the  
bullet and pay for the new drive and installation. I looked at the Do  
it Yourself installation instructions and I think I would rather  
attempt brain surgery (on myself). Good luck in your quest.
Best wishes,
Joe Nolan
