[SOLVED] Removing a DVD drive blanking plate on an R4 to enable installation of a replacement power switch ?

[Richard P]

I decided to replace the broken power switch on my R4 - thanks, guys. Took a bit to verify the correct plug and and pins on the motherboard, and now that the switch arrived, I want to mount it on one of the blanking plates where an extra DVD drive could be mounted.

Any ideas on how to remove the blanking plate? So far I see nothing in service manual, and also cannot see whatever fastens them in place.

Not sure if this helps

Oops - somehow my edit of "Never Mind" didn't get posted! Finally found what I was missing - mainly that my brain wasn't working very well! Getting old, unfortunately! Got the unit out, the switch installed in the plastic front panel, and will have the switch wires soldered on shortly.

If anyone is interested, McMaster Carr has a decent assortment of switches at reasonable prices.
