    • Carefully lift up the top panel, because there are two blue ribbon cables that must be disconnected before removing the panel, and we do NOT want them to break.

    • After gently disconnecting the two ribbon cables (you can just pull them out with your hand), take the top off and set it to the side.

    • After the top is off, you'll see that there are two metal bars that go across the top of the device.

    • Before unscrewing the optical drive enclosure, the small cable on the left of the drive (when looking at the device from the back) needs to be disconnected from the circuit board (the orange one).

    • Also, take the cables out of the white clip that is on the side of the optical drive.
