RemovingtheservoPCB
In a static safe environment, disconnect the flex foil from CON401 on the servo PCB. Use a
metal paper clip to short the exposed end of the flex‐foil and protect from static damage.
DisconnectthecableplugsfromCON402,CON403 andCON404. ThePCBsecuringscrewscan

Replacingtheloadingmechanismwithlaserpickup
Replacementisgenerallyareversalofremoval,butnotethefollowingimportantsteps‐
Oncethe servo PCB has been fitted and the flexfoil cablefrom the laser pickupconnectedto
CON401, the solder‐short that protects the pickup from static must be removed. This is

Once the solder‐short is removed, the loader can be fitted to the cradle and then to the
chassis.

RemovingthefrontpanelPCB
Ifa fault isdiagnosedwhichrequires the removal of thefront panel PCB,proceedasfollows.
First, following the instructions above, remove the loading mechanism. Now disconnect the
flexfoil running to the front panel PCB. Finally, the complete front panel assembly including
display PCB may now be pressed forward out of the front of the chassis. Remove the fixing
