I need help with my Sony VAIO PCV-RX560. How the heck can I get the side panels off this stupid crate? There's got to be a release *somewhere*! Reference pictures in photobucket.

Also, the DVD-ROM (topside) cannot eject with the press of a button. I can hear it trying, but it's probably jammed. I have it on the bottom now with the same results. Can it even read anything anymore?

The DVD+-RW also has its problems. It doesn't read anything I put into it. DVDs, CDs, burnt data discs, nothing. I check the property tags on it, and the computer thinks it is a CD-ROM, and it says that the device is working properly.

If I can't get everything up and running tip top, I'll just move the video card (upgraded awhile back to play a MMORPG), and maybe the DVD+-RW if it can be made operational into a less beat up computer.

If I can help it, I don't want to think about buying a new computer just yet. Screen caps are available if anyone thinks they can help.
