Removing the CD-ROM/Diskette Drive Module
1. Disconnect the diskette drive cable and the CD-ROM drive cable at CN15 and CN16 of the system board

Fro CD-ROM/diskette drive module, there are two types of cabling: IMPORTANT!! Before Acer encountered problems, the cabling for the diskette drive was originally placed between the bracket of roughly 1000 pieces. In order to avoid damaging these cables, Acer then redesigned the cabling to go around the bracket instead. You may have to repair both types. In the case of the limited quantity version, you should replace the longer cable type and connect the diskette FRC cable to go around the bracket to avoid the same mistake.
Type 1 Cabling (mass-production version):
1. Remove the 3 screws located at the CD-ROM/diskette drive module’s bracket to separate the CD-ROM drive from the CD-ROM/diskette drive module
2. Remove the 3 screws from the diskette drive
