Compaq Presario 5000 - Anyone know how to get inside this thing? (Installing a CD-R)
Hello - I have a Compaq Presario 5000 machine and want to add a CD-R.
It currently has a CD drive and one free slot. I am pulling my hair out trying to understand how to install the second drive. After popping off the small rectangle plastic cover, I was expecting to see an opening to slide the drive in. Instead I am confronted with a metal barrier that seems to be welded to the internal chassis. Going in from the inside, there seems to be no obvious screw(s) or release latch to fully open this empty bay and make it accessible. Does anyone have any insights, or references to step-by-step instructions that will help me? Thank so much. Sincerely, Julia |
