I have a Acre TravelMate 4200. I need to change the DVDRW drive. Although I have replacement drive I am not sure wich of of the many screws, on the bottom of the laptop, to remove. Also does the case come apart easyly. I am sure that once I have the case off I will manage to do the rest.

there should be just one screw directly behind the dvd drive in the centre of it. remove that screw, start the laptop, eject the dvd and pull the whole drive but not with force and it will slide out.

Thanks. You are correct. I had to remove the large cover plate that covers the SIMM's and processor. Then I could see the screw that you refered to. The job took less than 5 mins. Thanks.
