Genuine Dell OEM Eject Latch 7C394

This genuine Dell OEM part replaces the optical drive latch on compatible Latitude D Series, Inspiron and Precision M60 laptops. It lets you remove swappable CD, DVD or Blu-ray drives. The part number is 7C394 and it is supplied new.

Plastic Latch Durability Limits

The latch is a small plastic mechanism that can become brittle after years of heating cycles inside a laptop chassis. Repeated ejection force may eventually snap the retention tabs, so handle it gently during installation and daily use.
