Hey everyone, I just need a model number for a Superdrive for my MacBook.

Mine crapped out and I need to replace it as warranty is up. I've seen a few on eBay go for around $70, but there's a couple different models I have run into. I just want to make sure I get to most current model of Superdrive. I believe the Superdrive in my Core Duo MacBook was a model to avoid (hence why it's messed up), so I don't want to order the same thing again.

Thanks in advance.

I believe there are videos on YouTube, and it's not a cake walk, but just take your time and be organized.
