Hi there, i have a M5811 Acer Aspire and id like to install an additional DVD writer. so i opened the tower side which was no problem. BUT : How can i disassemble the plactic cover in fornt of the tower ??? Since i can not install the DVD from the tower inside, i'd like to slde in the DVD Writer from in front. But all this nice looking plastic parts are in the way and i haven't found out how to de-install them. It seems everything is linked to each other. any help gladly welcome !!! best regards Peter

    Hi rainbow99!

    If you remove the side panel, you will see plastic clips that are part of the molding of the front bezel. If you gently press down on them, it will allow you to remove the front of your PC. Just be carefull when you remove it - you dont pull any cables out.

    With the front bezel removed, it will allow you to slide in your optical drive. Just repeat in reverse to replace it.
  • As mentioned, be mindful of the cables. While you should find enough play, it is recommended to disconnect the LED cable prior to removal (you should see a two wire connector - yellow and white).
