Can anyone tell me how to remove the CD drive from a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 laptop, please?

Andrew,

Email/call Toshiba support, tell them you are a tech, and ask for a disassembly/reassembly manual. They should send one via PDF forthwith.

If there is not a thumb button on the bottom that allows release of the drive [similar to a battery release] I open the small panels on the bottom to try and locate a screw or screws that will allow removal. I do it one panel at a time and keep VERY CLOSE TRACK of the screws, can't get them just anywhere.

Maybe can help, they sell the drives.
 
Thank you both.

I'll try to get a PDF manual from Toshiba and if that fails, I'll try to follow landlubbers advice and proceed very carefully annotating precisely which screws come from where.

Andrew,

What I use is a pill box w/ individual lids for each day only instead of M T W etc. I write "1, 2 3" etc. then place the screws in the compartment and close the lid after each step. I bought a pill travel kit that has a LOT of boxes w/ small compartments for about $5.

 
Tony, you're very well organised. I wonder how much it would cost to ship the Tosh to you ....
