I bought a new hard drive to update my cube. I tried to open it but I could not.
I could open this cube long ago but this time...
The handle come out after I press it. But I cannot bring out guts. Something's stuck.
Anybody know similiar problems and solutions?
I toggled handle many times and tried to get this out but it did not work.
Please help

it's probably the cord for the Airport card-> antenna which has gotten loose and in the way of the innards when you try to open it up. it's happened to me and others before (i'm assuming you don't have an airport card in because it's not listed in your sig). unfortunately, i forget which part of the cube this is in.. i'll check once i shut mine down and come back and post something more specific. if you can see that cord as of now, you can usually just poke it out of the way with a screwdriver (carefully, of course).

arright, that cord is on the right side of the cube's insides when you're opening it up and the cube is oriented so that video card is at the bottom. try playing around there - you'll probably be able to sight the cord inside. it's a silvery-white color.
