Did anyone successfully remove screws from a Macbook pro using this? I'm talking about two screws in the way to get to the superdrive.

Yes, I did. I ordered these to help me replace my SuperDrive with a new SSD and these things worked fast. I love em.

I don't know if these will work on a Mac. I suggest you try looking for specific Mac screws Try here " http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_11?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords;=macbook%20screws&sprefix;=Macbook+scr%2Celectronics%2C164 " The screws at that link appear to be MacBook specific.

It takes some patience, start with the smallest one (remember they're reversible) and slowly working your way up until you find one that grips. They may not seem to grip at first, just keep applying pressure and twisting slowly until they do. I was able to get three stripped laptop hard drive bay screws out after working at them for a while. The first one came out right away but it took many tries to get the other two.

If by "faceplate" you are referring to the rectangular black piece. You "could" remove it, but I wouldn't recommend it. It is there so the caddy fits snuggly. I am using mine with a Macbook Pro. It could be different with a PC. I hope that helps you.

Depending on the model of macbook pro you have, you may need to use a pentalobe screwdriver if I remember correctly. Check ifixit for detailed instructions.

I am not sure, but I have a late 2008 Macbook. Pro and it worked great on mine. It is actually only used to remove the screws on the back of the computer. It is also important that you put the same screw back into the same place it came out of. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I can't help you. I had the same problem, returned the item with my cd in it. Bought Superdrive from Apple and have no problem.

I have an early 2011 MacBook pro 13", essentially the same chassis. The caddy fitted OK. You will need your own tools to open the chassis, the caddy doesn't come with any accessories. You should look for videos describing the procedure on Internet, that will be most helpful.

I would recommend removing the old one. Though it's never happened to me, I've heard stories of extra weight/thickness causing problems with the disc drive.

It came with a phillips screwdriver, but not a torque screwdriver. Since my computer has died anyway, I left the macbook hard drive enclosure screws on it and the drive still fit in the enclosure.

Yes. This caddy replaces your cd drive in your MacBook Pro. There are many YouTube videos that can also guide you with how to install it.

I bought a chinese Superdrive knockoff, and it didnt work, so I spent the extra $$ and bought the Apple USB Superdrive here on Amazon (I had to install the NI bundle this way...sucks..) It works just fine.My advice is "what is another 30 or 40 bucks after spending a small fortune on this machine??" lol

It can't be used as internal drive of MacBook Pro. The solution is only Change another brand of harddisk.

I have a Lacie external drive with a thunderbolt port connected to the thunderbolt port on my MacBook Pro. If your MacBook Pro or external HD does not have a thunderbolt port, there might be an adaptor you could get to modify. Hope this helps
