- I've tried pulling gently on the dvd-rom but it's well fixed in, there does not appear to be any hidden screws.

- The base comes in two halfs one side houses the batt, memory, processor, Hdd the other holds the dvd-rom and I assume the chipset and graphics card, it's this part that that's not moving. One side will lift but not much, and I don't want to force it, i can see into this area and can see that the plate appears to be attached somewhere above the dvd-rom
thanks

- Threr are holes but nothing large enough to house a screw they're about 2 - 4mm in diameter and there are no screw heads visible. It does appear to be fixed at the dvd-rom although not directly to it, as there is the base of hte rom then this steel plate ? hopes this helps
