Why this part gets replaced
Optical drives get replaced when discs are not recognised, the tray will not open, or the laser has weakened so it reads pressed discs but not burned ones. Before replacing it, try a different disc: a single scratched or dirty disc is a far more common cause than a dead drive.
Making sure it is the right one
Match the interface, the height and the bezel. Slim laptop drives come in different heights, and the faceplate is often specific to the machine. Many bare drives ship without a bezel, so you may need to transfer the one from your old drive.
What fitting it involves
Usually one of the easier jobs: a single retaining screw and the drive slides out. Worth knowing that on many laptops the optical bay can instead take a caddy holding a second hard drive or SSD, which is often more useful than the drive itself.

Before you buy
Will this drive fit my machine?
Match the part number printed on your existing unit to OSC-129. Apple and most laptop makers used several different parts in the same chassis and across left/right positions, so the model number of the laptop alone is not enough — go by the part number.
What condition is it in?
Used. Every photo on this page is of the actual item you receive, not a stock image.
Is there a warranty?
Working units carry a 30-day store warranty. Items sold as-is or for parts are not covered — the listing says which.
Can I pick it up instead of paying shipping?
Yes. We are at 816 Franklin St A, Anthony, TX 79821. Call (915) 886-7098 and we will have it at the counter.
