    Somehow i was smart enough to make my optical drive 'eat' a DVD... inserted it loosely, chucked it in, ejected and it didn't come back out (I can hear the slippery sliding when i move my laptop).

    I've been searching for a way to remove my optical drive but having no luck with my googling skills... I was hoping that one of you guys could tell me how.

    Thanks

    Ah, thanks, I went to the OCZ site and found some how-to guide that only told me how to change the hdd/cpu/ram around...

    Thanks
