    Hi all,
    I want to upgrade my Asus U41JF-A1 by replacing the dvd drive with a SSD. I looked in the manual and it shows how to remove the hard drive but not the optical. Will I have I any trouble doing this? I have built computers before so I am somewhat comfortable swapping out components, but do not want to open up my laptop unless this can be done. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

    opticals usually come out with latch/switch on the bottoms some times accompanied by a screw.
