Samsung BD-JM57C Motherboard Replacement

Introduction

Follow this guide to replace an old or faulty motherboard in your Samsung BD-JM57C Blu-ray player.

The motherboard in the Blu-ray player allows all the other important components such as the disc drive and Wifi card to communicate with one another.
