Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This is a step that takes a little bit of time because it requires going inside of the Dell Inspiron 1440. Make sure to have a neat space to keep track of the different screws. Before following this guide to replace the CD drive in a Dell Inspiron you will need certain tools. A screwdriver is needed to complete this process. In addition to this you will need something that can “pry” the laptop dashboard off safely. These are important in order to not damage the product while trying to fix it.
