Remove And Replace CD-Rom Drive-Compaq Presario 5000
Solution: open front blue magnetic case door, look on either side of the power button, there are finger holes in the other blue cover.
lift out from bottom to top. this cover comes off, not the whole
case. inside find tabs next to cd drive, squeeze and pull out. note: the side sliders were they come out, they will come off the
cd drive when removed. it is easier to replace the top drive by removing the bottom drive, put in the top half way, then put bottom back in half way and slide them in together.
voice of experience. hope this helps

trying to install windows xp it don't see my cd-rom or dvd.
my cd is not working and i need to replace it.
how does the front cover come off? Seems like it is glued on and without the front coming off - one can't remove the CD drives, or any other drive.
can't get front cover off.
