Hi all. Not sure if this is in the right forum or not, but here I go.

I have a imac g3 indigo 450 mhz DV model. Anways a while ago the dvd drive stopped working, so I got a new drive.

Regarding the help I am seeking, how do I disassemble the mac (outer plastic) in order to access the dvd drive. Its imperative that I fix this very soon, as I have to leave for college tommorow. Thanks for the help.

Also, this should help - don't worry about some of the information being a few years old, the construction is the important bit - good luck.
