Hello I succeeded to replace the right speaker but now my optical driver don't recognize the CD and I can't put them out.. the button does not work anymore, the only way is th restart the mac and press the mouse and the eject button...
there is an unusual noise at the opening from the optical driver, do you think I put the 3 screws of the optical driver in a wrong way ? I looked at it already and I don't find the solution..
