Solved! DVD drive fell out of my laptop

[chuckster1997]

Hey there fellows,
I am trying to sell my ASUS R510JK-XX062D and I have come upon a problem recently when I was handling it, the dvd drive fell out of the laptop. I then took a look inside and noticed that the DVD caddy doesn't have any attaching part to it that would stick it to the motherboard (as shown in pictures). Does anyone have an idea of how should I attach this caddy? Maybe get a new one?
Thank for the help!

Assuming this is the same model, it looks like there's supposed to be a small piece that sticks on to the end of the DVD drive, which has a tab that the motherboard screw passes through.

That piece you're talking about is missing after taking it for servicing and presumably getting misplaced. So can i get another attaching part from somewhere, because from what I'm seeing the caddies sold on the internet come without one.

That tab is part of the top casing, and the video doesn't show any caddy, maybe yours is a little different. Look man, is a mechanical thing, this shouldn't be that hard to secure a part against another. U may have to DIY a tap yourself, this is the time to show your alpha male and pull out your power tools.
