I am trying to disassemble my laptop in order to change out the fan, however, removal of the optical drive is presenting a problem.  After removing all screws from the bottom of the computer, the optical drive is still attached.  Please advise as to what is still holding it in place.  Many thanks.  PattyB3

I searched everywhere to find any spec so this was helpful.  I will try this later on and will let you know how I did.  Thank you WAWOOD.
