Help please! I recently got an Acer Aspire E 15 ES1-511-C0DV 15.6 laptop and I love it. I have had it for about a month and a half, but I have a few problems. My first problem is that it doesn't come with a disc drive. There is in fact an expansion bay on the right side of it, and I already know how to take it out. The problem with that is I don't know what type of disc drive to put in... Can somebody please put a link to a disc drive that works with this laptop?

So, my second and worst problem is the huge pain it is to open, or even find the opening to the case. I use this computer for some gaming, and could use the extra ram for some applications. There are 2 total RAM slots in the motherboard, which currently only one is being used by a 4gb ddr3 stick. I was going to add another 2gb ddr3 stick to the second one when I came across this: There is no visual way to open the case! Like literally! The battery is hidden and there is no way to see the battery from the bottom of the laptop. There are a few screws labeled "disc drive" and "ram opening" but the RAM one doesn't work. I then tried to unscrew all of the screws on the bottom, to only find out there are some hidden screws somewhere that is preventing the bottom of the case to open. I'm not sure on this one, but I think there are some screws underneath those little rubber padding things on the bottom, but I didn't want to rip the off if it wasn't necessary. I will post a picture on this conundrum too, and links or any personal advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for reading this :bounce:

That is the link to view the photo of the bottom of my laptop.


I apologize for the picture not being perfect; I used my phone for this picture.
