Remove the 2.8 mm Phillips screw securing the optical drive.
The Bluetooth cable may be covering the screw; carefully push it aside before removing the screw.
Do not over-tighten this screw when re-mounting. You could break the plastic enclosure.
After removing the screw, push the metal tab backwards, towards the fan, to release the front of the optical drive.
