Hi chaps,
following my 'Wot rail grease?' thread, I asked about getting at the laser/ transport.. but I got in a heap of confusion. So I need to start afresh.
My symptoms. Cdp has bad Skipping. It reads TOC fine tho. I find the more scratched the cd the worse the skips. Lens cleaning did zilch. So: I greased rails, & this possibly helped (I think, but it still skips tho).
Ok 1st up. How to uncouple the transport from the pcb below. It is connected by 1 ribbon cable.
Pic 1 shows something blue.. this is just holding the tray up for the photo.
How to (safely) decouple the ribbon cable, pointed to in pic 2.. is where I am stuck at.
Pic2. Allen key is pointing to the ribbon cable: I think I can't just pull it out: is this correct?
Pic 3. Pointer to 2 tiny tracks, where a solder spot is. Now this is -possibly- somehow relevant to the removal of the ribbon cable (but I have no clue & very confused.. if someone could explain?).
Thanks, Capt.
