Preventing static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged, 
can destroy the laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.
 
1.2. Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup)
1. Do not subject the traverse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit. 
2. Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific 
    details, refer to the replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse 
    unit. Be careful not to take too long a time when attaching it to the connector. 
3. Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force. 
4. It is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it
1.1.3. Handling the optical pickup
1. In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the 
   replacement optical pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition. 
  (Refer to the text.)
2. Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power 
    source can easily destroy the laser diode. 
1.1.2. Ground yourself
1. Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
1.1.1. Ground the workbench
1. Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over 
    it before placing the traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
1.1. Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser diode) in devices such as DVD players. 
Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
