My DVD drive went out and I'd like to see inside of tower. No booklet came
with pc. Can someone familiar with case give brief explanation as to how I
pop it open.
Thanks so much.
Don

A search on Compaq's website yeilds the manuals at:

Look in the Upgrading and Servicing Guide on page 2.

There should be a single "thumb screw" on the back that will twist out...
then the side will pull straight back

Thanks.

Ok...
the DVD should not be too hard to replace

You're welcome.

Hello

No its no too hard ....just locate your DVD drive...there will me a power
plug attached with it. Remove it slowly and remember the way it was plugged
in as you have to again plug it back. Also there is one more IDE cable
attached with DVD drive. Remove it and then remove the dvd drive..Get a new
dvd drive and again connect all the cables....Its done.
