    so my friend and me both have the same laptop (5670) and his dvd drive died a few days ago. so he bought a new one but neither of us can figure out how to remove the old drive. i tried removing the entire bottom pannel but i cant figure out how to fully open it. i have it open but only to about the middle of the dvddrive. is there some hidden clips i need to unhinge? thanks in advance
