[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1029247, member: 46727"] If you can see the piece of sticker it may be possible to remove it without having to remove the drive. Shine a flashlight in the slot. Can you see it? If you can't see it and it's stuck fast somewhere inside (probably stuck on the optical LED reader) it'll have to be disassembled. If you think you can do the job yourself, go to the ifixit web site and look up your model Mac. Then look up the step by step instructions for replacing the optical drive. Once you get the drive out of the machine, place it in the freezer or refrigerator for awhile. That will stiffen the sticker and cause the glue to loosen. You may be able to shake it out or get it out with a tweezer. [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: Apple Mac, MacBook, iPod, and iPhone Repair Parts[/url] Regards. [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
