Awesome work. If you get a chance, please post pictures of your internal chassis added parts, etc. so other 5675 can use it as reference.
Dells Audio header cable is proprietary will not connect to my Audigy card. * True. We never sold this system with an added sound card. It was built to use the onboard Realtek ALC3861. The BIOS doesn't even have the option to disable the onboard Realtek ALC3861. I guess you did that in the Device Manager?
2nd optical bay placed the eject button. I need to be in Windows to eject the drive? * based on these pictures of our front bezel and ODD (optical disk drive) =
You first press the front bezel button to raise the ODD lid cover, then press the eject button on the drive itself. Or are you saying that the ODD lid cover does NOT raise up?
Thanks for the kind words. I'll post pics as soon as I can.
As for the 2nd ODD Drive Bay, I press the button on the front lid and it does absolutely nothing. I was assuming by pressing the button it would have a mechanism that would press the BluRay drive eject button located on the lower right hand corner of the drive if facing the tower, but it does nothing at all? I have to eject the drive right clicking on it in Windows and invoking the eject command. Sort of defeats the purpose of having the button on the front lid. What is it for?
pressing on the lid button does not open lid nor eject Bluray burner tray.
I find this mind boggling. It's as if that button has no purpose at all. I pressed on the button and it does nothing. Is this a mfg defect? I don't believe I installed the drive incorrectly as when I eject the drive in Windows the bay door goes down and the drive tray ejects with no issues. Can you please find out? Thanks so much Chris.
Not sure if my pic posted. here it is again just in case.
Yellow hi-lited button does nothing to open tray and or eject BluRay burner. I figured pressing this button would press the BluRay drive button to eject it. it does not.
When I'm logged in I see the pics I posted with no issues. When I log out and just browse the community my pics do not appear just a warning type sign appears where the pic should be? What am I doing wrong? I click on photos and select insert photo which I save as a .jpg. Anyways I think Dell ChrisM will understand what I'm saying about the 2nd bay ODD Door, button and its essential uselessness.
Checking into this. Hopefully another 5675 can post their results of that bottom button. If the same as yours, we would have to consider this as simply a bad design. I doubt that Dell would re-engineer the front bezel to correct this. Correct, only you (the original poster when logged in) and us (Dell) can see the pictures. All other users will see the yellow triangle.
Thanks for the reply. I'm curious to hear from other 5675 owners. I'm thinking this is just a bad design and should be brought up to system designers. As I stated I'll post pics of my system internal later this week. Also I wanted to add that thankfully the MB had 3 pci-x slots as the 2 closest to the video card are pretty much blocked off... I have the Radeon 570 card and as you stated Chris, I disabled the Realtek Audio in device mgr as the bios had no setting to disable. Chris can you reach out to your internal Dell contacts concerning that 2nd ODD bay? Thanks!
The button on the door is attached to an arm that connects to drive eject button but on my 5675 it does not move the arm just flexes, It is poor design.
Wecelliot49, Thanks for the reply. I agree, the arm does not move to where it should to press up against the eject button of the drive. Very poorly designed. Waiting for Chris from Dell to post back with their test results and response. Thanks!
Open the chassis, from the motherboard, underneath the front bezel, you will have a 2 pin power cable going to the ODD eject button. Can you check if there is that cable on this system.
I'll check on this but I don't recall seeing a power cable from the MB to the tray where the eject button is located. I'll post back asap, not home now but will be in a few hours. Thanks Chris!
I was able to get out of work early today and just checked the chasis, no cable at all. I took a pic of the bezel which I will post here... I hope the pic shows as I have had issues posting pics on this new forum,,, here it goesI hope you see the pic. I meticulously checked and see no power cable at all. Its not the end of the world but how did Dell not check this before mfg this system? The piece with the alignment with the sticker part number for the bezel is the piece that should be pressing up against the power button of the burner. It does not when pressing the outside tray button. I will update this post next with pics of my system internals. Chris will Dell do anything with this mfg issue for current owners? Again not that big an issue but when you buy something you want it to work the way it should. Thanks for all your help!

They are looking for the system to try to test on. Hopefully another user with the full sized Dell ODD can post their findings.
