I have to reattach cd drive cover, is there a good way to do? Of dismantle the whole beast
Based on taking mine to bits, the little catch and hinge bits on the CD cover were incredibly fragile at this point: I wouldn't recommend trying to squeeze them back in from the front. You'll probably need to remove the front of the unit and the CD drive, and slot it back in that way. | Posted by: mac27 on 2025-01-29 15:55:44

You'll probably need to remove the front of the unit and the CD drive, and slot it back in that way. Agreed, it is NOT a good idea to try and flex the CD drive cover in any way. The tiny, brittle plastic pegs that hold it inside the front panel are incredibly easy to snap off. The cover should stay attached to the front panel or be inserted/removed from the inside (backside) if that's possible. | Posted by: jovianartifact on 2025-03-24 14:04:04
