zguy95135 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Ok here's the deal, I was going to put the USB ports that were on the front of my Compaq Presario desktop (Series 5000, model 5315KS) but to do that I have to remove the floppy drive to get to it. Plus my cd drive got jammed open and it wont close. I cant find any info on the net about how to remove the drive. Every site has the info for other models but not mine, and the two different models are completely different so the info is worthless. Ive already been looking at this thing for 3 long hours already. There seems to be no way to remove the CD drive, there are no clips or tabs to remove. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Damn PC...

Guest steveo Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 most drives are held in by screws. To get to the screws open up your case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy95135 Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 I opened the case, and the drives dont seem to be screwed down to anything, i can wiggle them around, but they dont want to slide forward (they have to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yop Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 try popping off the front case of the cd drive may be screws in the front holding it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM_0381 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Yea, that model you have to pop the front panel off to get to em. Then the drives should slide right out the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
