does anyone know of a perfectly fitting dvd drive faceplate for aspire e5-576g? I’m going to switch it for a blu ray drive but the face place cover seems too hard to remove without breaking it

    >>>it has tabs on it that seem very fragile and I don’t want to break it >>>

    This is one of the reasons why double-sided tape was invented. No one can tell if you broke it.  :)   Jack E/NJ

    If you follow laurent_14  's instructions and gently pry the right hand side out just a little, then at the same time you can gently push the tab in as shown in the zoomed image of  laurent_14  's post to help avoid breaking the tab's plastic catch on the end.  Jack E/NJ
