[QUOTE="MacNoob18, post: 790949, member: 82826"] Thanks for posting the model number of the drive. I thought that's what I needed to find the right one on ebay. Anyways, I still couldn't find one for less then $110 in the states (must be the advanced slot loading technology.) But I did find a couple of refurbished ones from Hong Kong for around $80. I have ordered parts from there before with no problems. The auctioneers request that you check whether or not you have a 9.5mm (height) drive. So to make sure I'm going to open this baby up and see what we got inside, maybe I'll have a different model number to look for on ebay. Either way I'm selling my old ipod to pay for the parts. Here are a couple links to ebay auctions for replacement drive coming from Hong Kong, Anyone see any problems that could arise?? The latter is not a UJ-857, but a GWA-4080MA. The auction says its is still compatible. http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-MacBook-Pro-DVD-superdrive-UJ-857-C-13-15-17_W0QQitemZ170294441084QQcmdZViewItemQQptZApple_Drives_and_Media?hash=item170294441084&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A15|39%3A1|240%3A1318 http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-MacBook-Pro-HLG-Superdrive-DVD-drive-GWA-4080MA_W0QQitemZ170293949012QQcmdZViewItemQQptZApple_Drives_and_Media?hash=item170293949012&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A15|39%3A1|240%3A1318 [/QUOTE]
