Do you really need to remove optical drive ? as it looks like the screws in the image are just holding the metal tray itself, not securing the bottom case at all.
In any case i cannot get access to this part,.. I removed the battery, but them i don't know what to do in order to popup the optical drive, (if needed)
Removed the 8 screws from the bottom casing + screw relating to optical drive in the middle., and i'm guess all i need to really to is remove the screws underneath keyboard. but the only snag is optical drive,, can this be left alone?
