Drive panel broke
Vikhedgehog
Yeah the panel-thing on my drive broke. Now i need to push it and the button at the same time to eject :( Is there a safe and easy way to fix it? Like using glue? :lol:

Please reply, thanks.

Yes if its broke then I think a tiny blob of glue would do the trick as it doesnt look vital..but make sure you keep it ejected while the glue sets or you wont be able to open it again lol

It also looks a bit dusty on top so you may want to give it a clean :P

You can pick up some cheap and nasty Super Glue for $2, You don't need much, and trust me the cheap ol' super glue will glue your fingers shut if you aren't careful, so it should definitely do the trick,

and as Cody said it doesn't look vital so it should be fine, just make sure it doesn't get on any electrical components or something or there will be problems :P

Goodluck!

Yes, if you do as Cody said, and just keep it ejected, you should have no problem fixing it.

Good luck :D
