iMac (Early 2006 17-inch) Take Apart — Optical Drive 71
Lift the rear of the drive and pull the front bezel of the drive straight back and out of the
access hole in the housing.
If replacing a bad optical drive, use a T6 torx screwdriver to remove two ex cable mounting
screws. Disconnect and keep the ex cable for installation on the replacement drive.
If replacing a bad optical drive, remove the temperature sensor from the top of the drive.
Discard the sensor—the replacement drive comes with a new sensor already installed.
