    I am looking for a DVD/media bay door that I can Dremel.
    For a CF30.

    Nothing nice because I am going to cut a hole in it anyway.

    The media bay door from a CF-29 will work, correct? If so, I sent Teo all the CF-29MK4s, and parts, so he should be able to help you out. I think there were a couple that already had holes in them. Would save time. :D

    A CF29 door won't work. The latch is in a different location.

    Thanks anyway

    Can't you replace the latch on the 30 with one from a 29? I thought that was part of the deal with a 29 media bay door fitting on a 30.

    No worries. Trying to help out is all. :)

    The CF-29 port cover will work if you also swap over the latch from the CF-29 to the CF-30.
