DVD Eject Button

After successfully connecting the power button and power LEDs to the board, I wanted to make the eject button work with the Optical drive.





I'm using a SATA DVD Multi-burner I had spare. Nothing special, but is more than adequate. I would have been better with a slimline, but after some careful modification of the Drive mount, there wasn't an issue.

After removing the front bezel and drive housing, the eject button can be accessed on the pcb (circled).

Left: Solder the wires from the front panel to the pins on the eject button. Right: Remote Eject working.
