First you take the front bezel off. It is secured by two latches on the 
bottom edge. Usually a finger on each pushing up does it. If they are 
really stubborn, I turn the whole machine upside down so I can press down 
on the latches.

Now you can see the CD drive, but watch out -- there is a metal plate 
blocking one corner of it from coming out. One screw removes that plate. 
Finally you have to slide the CD sled forward, which is latched and may 
have a lot of friction.

From the Apple Service Manual:
1 Locate the two latches  below the ridge on the  drive bezel.
2 Caution:When using a  screwdriver to release a  latch, press up  
carefully. Do not  scratch or gouge the  plastic. Insert a flat-blade  
screwdriver at each  latch.
3 Pry up to release each  latch.
4 Swing up the drive bezel  and pull it away from the  metal chassis.

Hope this helps...
Ian

[q] Opening a Performa 637CD

[Randal Du]

I want to take the CD drive out of a Performa 637CD, but I can't seem
to access the drives.  How can I open the case in a way in which I can
get the CD drive?
