My Problem
Super drive would not read disks or skipped. Drive speed would ramp and down and then spit the disk out with an error.
My Fix
Took about 20 minutes to replace the drive. The online guide was very helpful in replacing the superdrive.
My Advice
I would not recommend the Phillips #00 screwdriver Ifixit sells as it did not seat into the screws in the drive (or the back cover) causing the bit on the driver to strip out. I ended up going to Sears and buying a driver. The battery screw driver and spudger worked very well.
My advice, get the proper tools and follow the guide if you need to replace a cd/dvd superdrive in a mac book pro. You can't go wrong as long as you are a bit cautious on the connector handling and follow the directions.
