HELP w/ removing CD drive out of Presario 5000
HELP!
What kind of a locking system does Compaq use on the Presario 5000 that retains the CD drives. I can't figure out which button to push in order to release one of the CD rom drives. Jess |

Are you talking about a CD or the drive itself? The drive is released with tabs on either side of the front bezel -- you'll need to remove the front plastic panel to access them. Open up the bottom portion (where the system CD is stored), then you'll see two fingerholes to pull the top portion out. Do this carefully because there are side tabs that will easily break if you pull too hard. If you're talking about a CD, look right above the eject button for a tiny hole. Get a straightened paper clip and push it hard into this hole, the tray will pop out. Rick |

Talking about the "drive" itself which I thought I had said, not the disc. I appreciate your input and will go after it and see.
