I never opened a notebook computer. Can I open the back gently and
reset the drive cable?

Most laptops disassemble from the front. The fisrt step is usually removing
the keyboard. There might be a bezzle or removable keys hiding the snaps
that keep the keyboard in place.

The CD-ROM drive (or whatever is in that bay) is usually the *easiest* thing
to replace on a laptop.

After that, everything becomes a pain in the butt.
