    I took my 1520 apart to get to the SD reader. Come to find out, the reader is built into the motherboard ... okay ...

    Problem is when I went to put it back together the optical drive WILL NOT fit back into the laptop. When I go to push it in, I can see the interface on the drive pushing on the interface on the motherboard and moving it around.

    I've been trying for about an hour and it just will not work. I took off the tab that holds it in place and still no luck.

    Can anyone help.
