Hey, now I can get it open! I couldn't see what I was trying to open because the keyboard pops up. I was looking at the outside of the unit! Doh.
I took out both the hard disk and the CD-ROM, and put them back into the system by themselves. Neither of them will detect. I'm going to assume that this is an IDE controller problem? I find it hard to imagine that both the hard disk and the CD-ROM went out at the same time.
