I just received my M6700 laptop. I am trying to remove the primary hard drive and am having difficulties. I followed the instructions in the owners manual but the drive will not slide out of the drive bay.

I removed the four screws holding the drive and the one screw on the latch. I then slid the latch and tried to slide the drive out. I can get it to move a little and then there is quite a bit of resistance. If I continue to pull it it feels like there is a spring holding it in. The further I pull the more resistance I feel.

Its almost like the SATA connector is stuck to the back of the drive and I am bending the PCB on the laptop that is is connected to.

I can not see any way of looking inside to see whats hold the drive back without removing a lot of parts.

Do you have any suggestions?
