Presario 5000 RAM by Bob Levine

Presario 5000: Fungibility Of ATX Power Supplies? by (PeteCresswell)
Remote location. Family member's Presario 5000 just bit the big one. Over the phone, it sounds like the power supply. I've got a couple of ATX power supplies laying around and I drive down there for other reasons periodically. How proprietary is the Compaq unit?

Presario 5000T CD drive removal? by Ken[_9_]
I bought a CD/DVD drive to replace the CD drive in my 5000T Presario. Removing the side panel was no problem but it looks the the other parts of the cabinet are riveted to the chassis. I can see no way to remove and replace the CD drive. Can someone please help? I'm afraid to get too ambitious...

Presario 5008 series by Alfredo L. Soto
I'm trying to take out the cd drives but they have some funky plastic locks on them that do not allow them to come out any ideas. Tool possibly? Or just the knowhow of getting them out properly.
