<div dir="ltr"><span></span>Ugg. Not fun!<br><br>If you are VERY careful, a cottonswab with cooking oil and a sharpened popsicle stick will remove the sticky tape from the drive tray (first) and then from the drive itself. Basically swap a microscopic amount of oil alond the adhesive joint, let it sit for a minute and gently pry with the wood, repeat, repeat, repeat. Each cycle of this wil loosn about 1/16" . Don't try for more as you run the risk of tearing things up. <br>
