the disc, or it is wedged under one or more posts at the outer edge of the disc.
4. Holding the edge of the disc, press on the center clamp or hold the posts steady as
you remove the disc from the drive.
Important: Do not touch any key components located near the disc.
5. Replace the top cover on the drive so that the small hooks on the top cover fit into the
slots on the bottom cover. Then slide the top cover into place.
6. Replace the four screws. If applicable, install the brackets, cable, and faceplate back
on the drive before returning the old drive.
7. Install the replacement drive, and reassemble and test the computer.
