Disassembling the Blu-Ray drive:
1. Turn the drive over so as that the board on the Blu-Ray drive is facing up towards you.
2. Take out the 2 screws that are on the bottom left & right hand corners. (Not on the board of the
Blu-Ray but on the metal part of the drive.)
❍ When they are unscrewed, take the 2 screws out along with the metal piece that is with
them.
❍ REMEMBER: when you assemble the Blu-Ray drive, screw the 2 screws back in with the
metal piece.
3. Now unscrew the 5 screws on the board of the Blu-Ray drive. (1 top right, 1 top left, 1 bottom
left, 1 bottom almost right, 1 bottom right.)
❍ Bottom right screw: comes with metal piece that will need to be reattached upon
reassembly.
4. Once the screws are out, you will be able to disconnect the motherboard's connectors.
❍ To extract the connectors, you will need to lift the lid (on each connector) & pull the
connector out.
5. Now, lift the motherboard to your right as it is still connected, to the Blu-Ray drive, with a cable.
6. To extract the cable from the motherboard, you only have to pull the cable from the motherboard.
❍ Now you can remove the motherboard, as nothing else is holding it on.
7. Now turn the Blu-Ray drive over (as you will have to be able to lift & extract the upper case).
8. Once you have turned the Blu-Ray drive over, lift up the on the upper case to take it off.
❍ Be sure that when taking it off the push back on the case while lifting it up, as the case is
hooked into some tabs.
9. Now you will need to take out 4 screws on the drive (1 top right, 1 top left, 1 in the middle on
the left side, above the white piece, & 1 straight across, from the one above the white piece,
on the right).
10. Once you have taken out those 4 screws you will need to remove 1 screw in the middle on the
bottom.
11. Now, you will need to move remove the white part that holds the Blu-Ray disc.
12. Once you do that, you can lift the black case towards your right side.
13. Now take a Q-tip & dampen it with the lens cleaner liquid.
14. Now take the dampened Q-tip & make smooth circular movements on the lens (located in the
square black part).
❍ NOTE: You will want to be careful as the Blu-Ray is very delicate.
15. Now use the dry end of the Q-tip to dry the lens.
❍ You will want to make the same smooth circular movements on the lens, as you just used
to clean it.
❍ NOTE: You will want to be careful as the Blu-Ray is very delicate.
16. Now put the black case back on that you turned to your right.
17. Put the white part back on.
18. Screw back in all the screws that you took out & be sure to put the metal pieces that they came
with back on too!
