Superdrive making noise whenever I move my MBP

Hello, well I think the title says almost everything, so I have a MBP 2012 13" with an optical drive (DVD and CD reader) the Superdrive already present as standard in this computer. A few months ago I removed it to put a second SSD, but I ended up putting it back given the little use of the second SSD on my Mac running Linux.

After putting it back, I thought it was working as it did before but now the superdrive doesn't "suck up" (sry idk the best word for it in english) the disc when I insert one, except when I have almost inserted the entire disc, but I thought that that came from the fact that I use it under Debian and maybe it differs on Linux. Also sometimes the disc pops out as soon as I insert it.

But the biggest problem is this: every time I put a DVD or CD in, if I tilt the Mac and it's spinning the disc because it's reading it, there's going to be a noise, friction, a bit of a very regular click as if you were running your finger over a PC fan. I tested with CDs because I didn't want to damage my DVDs and when that happens, the music cuts out for a moment, surely a sign that the disc is moving inside and rubbing, then resumes when I put the Mac back on the right side and the noise stops.

So I wanted to know if anyone has already encountered a similar problem and knows a solution other than buying a new Superdrive (at this price I would rather buy an external DVD drive). Honestly I don't mind tinkering with the superdrive at all, if it helps resolve the prbl.

Thanks in advance !

Yep, same issue here with my MacBook Late 2008, Aluminum. So, the SuperDrive that holds the discs is slightly warped in some way, so when you tilt the Mac, the disc will hit the superdrive case.

My recommendation: if the superdrive works fine while the Mac is flat, you could probably continue to use it without too many issues. Just keep a close eye on it.
