A1278 2010 superdrive in 2008 model

I have a MacBook “Core 2 Duo” 13” A1278 Late 2008 here with a completely dead superdrive. It seems to be detected by OS but does not take in DVD’s at all.

The original superdrive has been replaced with a 2010 superdrive. The retailer told me the screw holes are slightly off, but it should be compatible.

Upon mounting I observe that although the superdrive is detected, takes in DVD’s, it decides to eject them after 10 seconds of spinning.

Could the 2010+ superdrive work with a 2008 A1278?

Partnumber original superdrive: 678-1462D
