    Yeah faceplate should be easily removable. It should be held on by clips.

    Thanks a lot! I happened to do a clean install of win 7 and was installing a bunch of games. The ODD had some difficulty reading some of them, and I noticed it's super sensitive to inbalanced discs. I think I'm definitely going to replace it.
