Question; I've got this model Mac Mini and the optical drive has a disc stuck in it. Does anyone know if there is an emergency release mechanism anywhere? (I searched in the usual obvious places but was unable to find it.) I'm trying to determine whether I will need to remove the entire optical drive or not. (And even if I do, will that give me any greater access to the stuck CD -- assuming I don't smash the old optical drive with a proverbial hammer?)
Is it possible to just remove the optical drive entirely? I accidentally tore the thermal sensor connector completely off the motherboard when replacing the harddrive with a bigger one, and now the optical drive fan is running at full speed constantly.
The link for optical drive repair points to the wrong tutorial ( snow leopard installation) , at least on the french version.
It Works!!!!, new SSD placed instead of dvd drive TKS
The Parts list indicates a 9.5mm drive, but from the pictures this one appears to be 12.7. Can anyone confirm which it is?
