How do I remove the caddy on a T430s? I know theres a switch on the bottom but it doesn't pop out

Hi, Pollard. There are two switches, one is perpendicular to the other. To remove the drive you must unlock with the first, and then the second physically pushes the drive outward and slides out from the computer. To eject the drive you must first slide the unlock, hold and, while holding the lock, push the second slider.These sliders are on both sides of the corner rubber grip. press and hold the one closest to the outside of the computer first, then the one further in toward the computer.

It looks like it is removable, but I am not absolutely sure. Sorry. Give Dell a call, or send them an email.

The bottom piece comes off easy from the front of the laptop pulling down. The top piece is a pain to get off, I just took mine off the other day to clean my laptop. Not fun. Some pulling and prying required but it comes off undamaged.

If you look at the picture its on the bottom under the middle button. Slides in and out of the side

Use a small flat head screw driver and when you completely unscrew the screw grab the top edge of the cover and gently pull, it will pop off.

There are tabs, do all of the tabs one at a time, put something in between the case and the frame of the laptop, like a folded piece of paper or coin. Once all tabs are lifted there will be nothing holding it on.

I have Lenovo W520. It has removable CD drive caddy. Easily removable by pressing a lever, no need to open laptop. HD caddy fit perfectly to replace CD drive caddy

Mine just slots in and out. There are a couple of buttons on each side to depress when you remove it. You might try holding those in when you pop it back, although mine just clicked back into place without doing this.

The two screws on the bottom. Remove them then slide the back cover up and pull off from the top

Use a small screwdriver to pop it off. Insert screwdriver in recess at top of compartment.

Do not over think this problem. After you remove the one screw (on the back of the laptop just under the pad), you must simply "slide" the back out of the one inch slide lock. DO NOT TRY TO PRY IT UP AS THAT WILL BREAK THE SLIDE LOCK. You are working too hard if this whole process takes more than 2 minutes.

It is very easy to remove from it's mounting holder. With a thumb, push forward and it pops out. To return it to the holder is the opposite, just slide it in, them seat it with minimal thumb pressure. Hope this helps, best regards

I have used this caddie extensively for my W500 before transitioning to the T430. The T430 is so much faster especially with 2 USB 3.0 ports I never found a need to mess with the configuration for backups or incorporate an SSD drive. Hence, I never tried the caddie in the T430 with a drive in it. However, I did remove the optical drive and place the caddie in the slot. The caddie is not as tall as the optical drive so you will see a little space there. The connection does seem to seat well though.

push the sharp end in the slot. then push the sharp end down to the other side and move it up and away from the slot. there is a small bar under there that keeps it locked [look in the open end and you'll see the little bar].........it's kinda hard to explain. it'd be easier to "show and tell"!

Push the mount tab that is under the lower end of your unit and slice the unit away, in the direction of the top of the unit. Mine is also a bit hard to remove, I sometimes have to gently wiggle the unit out. You might also want to look underneath to see if the metal loop to tie down the lanyard (or to unlock the back cover) might not be in the way.
