I got a replacement CD-ROM drive bezel for one of the PowerBook 1400s that I’m working on, as it was missing when I got it. It fits and is supposedly the right version (the 12x one is apparently different) but only when I remove the metal shielding. With it on it doesn’t quite close right and the button feels wrong, etc. Without it the drive closes and the button clicks the way I would expect. Is there a trick to getting it to fit together properly?
