Remove samsung R65 cd/dvd rom

Anyone got idea how to remove the samsung R65 cd/dvd rom?

 

Ummm! That's not a very clear photo. There will be a screw or two somewhere just outside the edge or back of the optical drive. If none of the screws on the bottom near the optical drive are holding it in place (they might have a small disc symbol) then the other place for a fixing screw is under the keyboard. Check if there are any screws under the memory cover. To remove the keyboard first take out screws on the bottom that are under the keyboard (usually marked "K") and then release any clips around the edge of the keyboard.

Once you have removed any fixing screws then the ODD module will pull out.

ya, I noticed that there is a fixing screw under the keyboard, but I have no idea how to release the keyboard since there is no any clips around it.

Look hard at the edges of the keyboard. There may be some little catches which you then push away from the centre of the keyboard with a small screwdriver or similar and lift the keyboard slightly. Start at the middle of the bottom edge.

The attached photo shows an example: There's one catch by the windows key and another by the PgDn key.

PS: You need a better camera for this type of shot!

 

yes, there are 3 catches locate at windows key, space bar and the PgDn key. but how to remove it with screwdriver? I mean how the machanism.

 

OK. You have found the catches. First turn the computer off, unplug from the mains, remove the battery and then take out the screws marked "KBD" on the bottom. Then open the computer. Get a small screwdriver (ideally blade less than 2 mm wide) and try to push the catch by the space bar towards your body. It should slide into the palm rest area and,when it is retracted, the keyboard may lift slightly. If not, then you lift the edge of the keyboard slightly with the screwdriver.

Once you have figured out that one then the others are more of the same. My X60plus keyboard has 3 moveable catches along the front edge, two fixed catches on the right side side and three tabs at the back and your's may be the same.

You need to release the three catches on the fron edge first, then slightly lift the front middle of the keyboard (yes, it will bend a little) which should release the keyboard at the sides. Then you lift the front edge of the keyboard just enough to clear the palm rest and put the screwdriver down the back edge and lever it forwards to release the tabs. Then lift the back side of the keyboard carefully and fold it over onto the palm rest (I am assuming that the keyboard ribbon cable is fixed near the front).

The attached photo is for the R20 keyboard. Yours should be similar.
