iMac G5 (20-inch iSight) Take Apart — Optical Drive 65
This photo shows the optical drive out of the computer so you can visualize how the clips 5.
move. Pressing down (#1) releases the clips (#2) outward from the metal chassis.
Caution: Never press down on or grasp the body of the optical drive when removing or
installing it. Pressing or squeezing the body of the optical drive could damage the
mechanism.
If replacing the optical drive, use a T6 torx screwdriver to remove two ex cable screws 6.
attaching to the optical drive. Note: Disconnect the ex cable and transfer it to the
replacement drive. Go on to the next step.
