    Hello there.
    I currently own a FS c1020 laptop and since my DVD CDRW has lost its cd reading/writing capabilities I bought a replacement, however I'm currently facing problems in the actual process (ie I unscrewed all the visible screws but cannot take the upper part off). Any ideas on what to do and how to it?
    Regards,
    John

    I did that before coming here [ ;)]
    However I couldn't see anything relevant.
    Any other suggestions?

    Did you take the battery out? There are screws under there most likely.

    yes i did and I also removed the hdd.
    Does anyone have in mind if there is a sketch-drawing anywhere on the net on where all screws are located?
    Has anyone replaced the dvd-rom in this model in the past by himself?
    :confused:

    i had simular problem as i wanted to remove my dvd-r writer 6x and replace with a 8x my system is also fujitsu but model amilo xa1526.

    most laptop are modular where you remove three screws to release the drive but fujis are more picky and dont.

    i contacted fuji tech about mine being removed and he told me not to do it as it was too overly complicated :p as it involved removing all screws on the base and removing keyboard to gane access to more screws and he said it would be better to take it to a fuji work/repair shop but bear in mind that it wipes out you warranty tho you probably know that :) .

    i never changed it in the end as all reviews i seen said 8x writer on laptop take about 13min and mine takes 13-14 tho its 6x ...weird im too used to my desktop writer at 8x or 16x taking 6-7 and 4-5mins respectively :D .
