Hi there,

I am using a modular HDD bay on a Dell Latitude E6410 instead of the the CD / DVD bay.

I have been inserting and extracting it daily, without any problem, but today it is completely stuck inside.

The spring-loaded tab (similar to a ballpoint pen mechanism) seems working normally, but when I pull it (even quite strong) the bay doesn't move. I pushed it and pulled it several time, but there is nothing to do.
The bay is not retained by a screw.

I assume the spring-loaded tab is not unlocking something.

I tried moving the bay in all directions (toward inside, outside, left, right, up, down). It does not move more than 0.5 mm.

I removed the laptop bottom plate, as well as the keyboard, but cannot see any way to unlock this bay.

Did anyone experienced this with the E6410 / E6400 / E6510 / E6500 Dell Latitude series, or knows what to do ?
I hope that I don't have to disassemble the whole laptop.
