Does the DVD drive work? I assume so since you don't sound in a panic about that. Good on yer. See, it's not so scary once you've done it once...
Usually I just push them and eventually with enough force and waggling the metal gives way at the fracture lines (as good a name as any, I don't recall hearing a 'proper' name for them), and then I cut my hand on the sharp metal. Or I use a thin (sharp) screwdriver and cut my hand with the screwdriver (as well as on the metal). Possibly I could try a sharp chisel, then I could also hit my thumb with the hammer...
(Look, I said I'm in a strange mood today. Almost punch-drunk, except that I haven't been drinking any punch...)
I'm busy Saturday, but I could come down Sunday as long as I really do leave early (as in early evening) to get home...
