Hi, I acci#%@! knocked the laptop off and the DVD\CD drive came out
and it was misaligned after I put it back in.

I took it apart

The drive will not stay closed, it still has the spring action pushing
it closed but it will not stay closed

Does anybody know of schematics for
HL Data Storage DVD-ROM DRIVE Model # GDR-8082N

or has a picture or explain the locking\release mechanism?

I have one part that may be misplaced, I meant to take a picture but
didn't

thanks for replies
