Jammed CD-RW drive

Hey guys, sorry for this stupid question. I want to take out one of my CD drives (Liteon CD-RW) as i just got a new one, and put it in one of my older computers. The trouble is that after unpowering and unscrewing it, it just wont come out!!! it is stuck in there hard! i have unscrewed both sides of the case and still its jammed. Just wondering on a way to get it free? I have tried screwdrivers and other levers but nothing.

thanks in advance!

marceta,

Some towers have device "carages". The entire carage will slide out rather than the individual device.

Perhaps you're missing a screw somewhere.

Yank that sucker out!
