@oldturkey03 This guide is showing how to remove the ODD, not the HDD. I was wondering if I should change it. The guide is also incorrect. Only one screw is necessary to remove the ODD. I suppose I should make another and archive this...
@pccheese it's a student guide so leave it alone. Do not archive anything on this. Go ahead and create your guide and then post that as an alternative. I would give the composer of this guide the courtesy and kindly let them know.
