    How do I remove the optical drive from my U47A? I can't find any screws on the bottom other than the panel for the HDD, which doesn't seem to help. I have the tray open, and don't see anything there, either.

    I also need to remove the faceplate (I want to replace the optical drive with a SSD caddy).

    This SHOULD be easy, but not for me....

    Thanks,

    Chuck
