How to Remove a DVD Drive From a Dell Inspiron 8600

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 3, 2011 -- How to Remove a DVD Drive From a Dell Inspiron 8600

The Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop comes with a modular device bay to make it easy to remove and install new components. The device bay comes preloaded with a DVD drive. Although it also comes with a screw to secure the DVD drive in place, this screw doesn't come preinstalled with the Dell Inspiron 8600 computer. If you want to remove the DVD drive to add a new one or install a different device, you can remove it from the module bay easier than other laptop models.

Instructions

Without a Device Screw

1


Turn off the power to your computer. Remove any cables connected to your Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, including the power cord. Set the computer on a hard, level surface to gain easy access to the unit.

2


Locate the DVD drive. Press the large latch release button on the bottom-right side of the DVD drive door. The latch release button will pop out of the unit.

3


Pull the latch release button away from the Inspiron 8600 to pull out the DVD drive. Pull it out slowly and firmly to avoid damaging any components.

With a Device Screw
1


Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect any cables or cords.

Close the laptop display until it clicks into place. Turn over the Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop so that the bottom is facing up.

Remove the screw placed over the latch release button of the DVD drive using a No. 1 Phillips head screwdriver. Set the screw aside.

4


Press the latch release button to pop it out. Pull the button evenly and slowly to remove the DVD drive.
