Thanks for the video. All the information I got before talked about the little hole and a paper clip; however they did not show a CD-ROM with the hole below the door. My computer hide the hole and I could not see it until I backed the CD-ROM out a little and with a flashlight/torch there it was. Thanks James. Keep up the good work.
