Replacement superdrive model variants

A1297 Macbook Pro 17" 2010

Hello all

The current superdrive (September 2009)

UJ868A (678 - 1451G )P09362JVZ9UVA wont write to discs anymore, and struggles to read certain types of disc. It's been cleaned with compressed air and dismantled and serviced. i.e cotton bud and lens cleaner.

What alternative superdrives will fit and work with this A1297 2009 - 2010 mbp 17" ?

Last resort is a usb plug in superdrive.

Thanks in advance.
