Dropped my laptop and the disc drive is sitting out about 3mm, not the door but the complete drive. Door dosen't open. How do I remove the complete drive, can't find a lock button as was on my old laptop.馃槧

What model? Usually a slide lock on the bottom but could be a flip out/push in button/lever on the side of the face of the drive.

Try this:

Thanks sinecure. Instructions in German but the images were perfect. The release screw is under the keyboard so a bit of surgery was required but is working great now.馃槉
