Title:

ifixit gave me wrong superdrive replacement

Text:

I bought two UJ-875 drives part# IF153-092-1
12.7mm PATA 8X SuperDrive / New for 89.95 each.

The drive is supposed to install in a black bracket. The bracket on my imac has two little plastic pins as part of the bracket.
These pins help position the drive properly.

They fit the original drive but not the replacement drive I received from ifixit.

The new drive will not align properly with the bracket slot...filing off the pins will not work...drilling holes in the drive shell is not possible either.

Any suggestions?

Mike

PS. I am about the return the drives.

iMac Intel 20" EMC 2133 and 2210
