    Hello all! Newbie here.

    So I've recently disassembled my hp pavillion dv9000 notebook to do some minor modifications. I was having issues with my heat sink, and managed to fix it up.

    Problem is, when I was replacing my optical drive, I managed to tilt it upside down and several springs fell out. I have no clue where they came from specifically, other than knowing they have something to do with the sliding brackets on the sides.

    I've searched frantically for a service manual on my optical drive to fix this problem, but I can't seem to find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    The drive in question is:
    DVD±RW/R and CD-RW Double-Layer Combo Drive with LightScribe

    Part number (from the dv9000 service manual):
    432973-001

    Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated. Thanks!

    Upon further investigation, I've found that the optical drive is a
    Mata dvd-ram uj-851s ata device. Dunno if this makes searching
    for a manual easier. I know it hasn't helped me.

    Anyways, thanks in advance to anyone that can help!
