How do I remove the optical drive on a Sony Vaio VGN-CR11Z/R laptop? The lappy is no longer under warranty and while Sony provide no useful information on how to do this task (unlike Dell) they charge £100s to replace it for you. Other manufacturers simply have several holding screws accessible from underneath the lappy but not Sony. I have searched the Web but not fallen across the answer. Do I enter from above, under the keyboard, or from below, and remove the entire lower case?

I'll answer my own question:
1. Switch off, remove the adapter lead and battery. 2. Remove the back plate covering processor and memory. 3. Remove single screw under the cover and beside the memory. 4. Gently prise optical drive out from housing. |
