    Anyone have any instructions on changing the DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive on the M105-S3031? I checked through the "How to disassemble Toshiba Laptops" thread and didn't find anything on my particular model. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! :)

    Find a screw near the drive itself. Sometimes there is a lock symbol next to it. Sometimes there isnt a screw at all. The drive will pull out, usually after the screw removal, or sometimes there is a pin that yanks out the whole drive.

    You're going to have to find a way to get under the keyboard before you can go tearing out the old drive. If you don't know how to dissasemble your notebook, I suggest googling it.
