Solved

Hello everyone,

I have a Packard Bell iMedia 2078 and I can't remove the gray front panel. Indeed, I want to replace the original burner, which is broken, with one that is not (nothing surprising so far!). I can manage to remove the side panels (because that's very easy to do) but I can't seem to get that pesky front panel off. Help me please!
Thanks in advance...

Ok, thank you both. I managed to find them; there are actually 2 clips that are well hidden inside the metal framework. It's nice of you to guide me.

Hello!! After many ups and downs, I came across your topic, and I must admit that these two little tips could very well be my salvation.... Is it possible to explain (even approximately) where they are?
Thank you in advance!!
Have a good day ^^

If there’s a 3"5 clip on your facade, try the same but pulling inward.

Otherwise, the facade is almost always clipped onto the metal frame.
You need to remove the two side facades and unclip the 6 to 10 clips.

I'm having trouble; I want to dismantle my Packard Bell iMedia 8612 to change the faulty DVD drive, but I've removed the left side (tower facing me) and I can't remove the front panel. It get stuck in the middle on the right.
What should I do? I'm afraid of breaking something. Thank you for your help; I've been at this for 3 hours, while changing the drive should be easy.
Thank you.

Usually, you don't need to remove the front panel, but if you insist, check that it might just be clipped on.
Otherwise, you just have to unplug your player, remove a few screws, and push it out from the front panel.
I hope I was able to help you!
