Anybody familiar with the internals of these disks? I have one here

whether it's likely to be just a bit sticky and in need of some
assistance or whether there is some sort of latch involved, and I am a
bit reluctant to just pull the lid off the chamber to find out.
There appears to be a photo of the internals here, if that helps at all:

... it's a little small, so hard to tell what's going on for sure! I don't
see any obvious locking mechanism, though.
There's a Fujitsu M2333KS on ebay - item # 182218376023 - which appears to
be quite similar in layout. That one appears to have some form of
positioner / track 0 sensor accessible from outside the HDA if the logic
board is removed - is that true of the 2235 too?
