Dell Latitude E6330, lower right corner of DVD drive to right of the
drawer opening button and emergency opening hole. This push in/push out drawer comes out about half an inch. Nothing inside it, doesn't seem to do anything, no reference to it in owner's manual or on Dell support site. So what is it? Picture he https://imgur.com/a/I9s4vgY |
