How to remove DVD Play/Burner from Pavilion p6610 Desktop PC?

[TY965]

My PC went kablueey on me and I am buying a refurbished one very similar to mine because I want the Windows 7 Software and I want to try to see if I can use my hard drive in it.  The new one doesn't have a DVD burner which I really liked and mine worked just fine, so I would like to remove it and take it with me to the tech shop and see if they can fit it in the one I am going to look at.  They have several to sell and I will get 180 day guarantee. Sounds okay, don't you think?

I printed out a tutorial from HP.com on how to remove my hard drive a while back and was hoping for a link to do the same with the DVD Burner.  HP Pavilion p6610f Desktop,  I think it was manufactured in 2008.  I know it is old but I got a lot of bang for my buck out of this baby!  🙂

Thank you, in advance, for your time and consideration...taylor

Hi, Taylor:

Here is the service manual for your PC's model series.

There is a section for the procedure to R & R the optical drive.
