Hello,

What model do you own exactly?

PatrikJ

Hi there, Aspire XC-886 is the model.

Hello,

I guess your desktop doesn't have a DVD drive so you can follow this procedure.

• After removing the side cover, unlock the hooks of front bezel then remove front bezel:

Thanks mate, I will try that.

actually, there is a drive, but since I declined the shop to set it all up for me, the front of the DVD drive is just a solid cover and with the computer comes the parts to build the CD-DVD driver. I guess what you say above is still the way to sort that out. Just need to figure out how to get the front off without damage. Thx again.
