Well, I posted this on Mac Rumors forums, and, I figured that I'd post it here too, to see if anyone can help me out :/
Hey everyone, so, I've been using this MBP since 2007, and, it's starting to fail me. I was using an external hdd on it since the internal one crashed, and, then the external one crashed. I just purchased a 250gig hdd which fits perfectly in my Macbook, but, now I have another issue that's been pressing me for some time that didn't bother me at all until now when I need to install Snow Leopard;
My Super Drive isn't reading discs at all, and, it's making this scary crackling noise. I uploaded a video on youtube of me putting 2 discs in it, 1 with content (World of Warcraft: The Frozen Throne) and the other without content (Just a blank CD).
I hope you guys can help me out.
Before I link the video, I'd like to note that I am apparently amazed by the laser seeing as how I point to it and make a note of it ._.

Thank you so much in advance, and, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm new to this forum :x
Please, if you have even the slightest clue as to what I can do to fix this, I would love to hear anything.
In regards to why I'm fixing it;
It's not because I'm a stingy jew who refuses to spend money on a new drive, it's just that I am a total nerd and feel like I'm defeated if I cant fix something myself. I fixed the RRoD on my XBox 360 4 times now. I've put a mod-chip into 2 PS2's etc etc etc. I just love doing it myself, and, not being able to figure out what's wrong with it is just pretty :sadface:
Thanks <3
