Introduction
Hi Guys,
In this guide I’ll explain how to replace the Blu-ray drive it’s PCB. This is required when you swap your motherboard.
What you need
-
-
First of all, remove the sticker/tape from the back of the drive to reveal the 2 other screws. You can do this with your fingers, it could take a little force, but not to much.
-
-
-
Remove the 4 PH1 screws.
-
Lift up the back cover and remove it. It should not take any force and should come off easily. I lifted it up at the left side.
-
-
-
Open up all the 3 ZIF connectors with your finger nails or with an plastic opening tool carefully.
-
Then remove the 3 ribbon cables from their sockets.
-
-
-
-
You will see an red and an black cable soldered to the PCB.
-
Now get your solder iron ready to desolder the 2 cables. Heat and melt the solder, with your other hand hold the tweezer. When the solder is melting, remove the cable with your tweezer to get the cable out.
-
Now it should look like the last photo.
-
-
-
Hold the PCB and move it up. You should notice that PCB will come loose from the drive.
-
Now hold in the middle and move it upward a little and the back to yourself. Be aware that it will need a little force (especially from the right side, as a clip is holding it down), but it should come off easily.
-
That's it! You got the PCB out!
-
-
-
Photo 2 shows correctly how the PCB need to be seated. As you can see in the blue circles.
