Suzanne, unless you've gotten the drawer on your Lampshade open by now, I think the only thing is to take it to Apple Repair. I spent a couple of hours today fiddling with mine (the mother board is cooked, but the HD worked, at least until now). As you may have discovered, it's easy to open the drawer cover -- just slip a thin screwdriver or pen knife under it, and it'll pop down. The drawer is something else. I tried several ways to pull it out, finally decided to try going in through the bottom. First plate came off easy -- it has four tiny Phillips-head screws that are easily turned, and you don't have to worry about losing them because they have washers on the bottom. The next plate was not so easy. It has four much larger bolts but Jobs apparently designed them AND the tool for turning them, just to foil hackers like me. I got three of 'em lose, but the fourth defied all efforts. Back to the drawing board. But -- in the midst of all this, I glanced around and the drawer had slid out. Dunno what I did to cause that, but before I could reproduce the action, it slide back in and stuck. Now my HD won't even show up. So if I ever hope to transfer anything from that HD to my new Mac, I'll have to visit Apple. Maybe I'll just invent some new decorative use for the Lampshade -- not a lamp; that's been done :>) Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
