    I want to replace my combo unit from an IBM R40e laptop with an DVDRW-DL LiteOn SOSW-852S enclosed into an external case.

    Any ideea/suggestion regarding how to open the external Lite-On DVD+/-RW ISB case (model SOSW-852SX)?

    I suppose that shape, size and dimensions of this Lite-On DVDRW unit are the same with IBM R40e combo unit and needs only to replace the plastic door (laptop has a black plastic door, with a specific shape).

    Any suggestions will be appreciated

    Many thanks in advance / Adrian
