How to assemble it again? I don't have much experience and will do it for the first time watching your guide. Thank you!!
Concerning Step 5, and I quote: "Remove the CD/DVD drive by sliding it out of the side of the laptop." This is shown after the removal of the cover.
Note: There is a cover screw under the outer edge of the drive for the cover. Therefore, the drive has to be removed first. This is how it is with my unit, anyway ...
