Cleaning the laser lens

Cleaning the laser lens

1)Remove any CDs from the unit and unplug all leads and memory cards. Turn the unit upside down and use the small, flat screwdriver to pop out all the little plastic and rubber screw covers.

2)Take your normal sized Phillips screwdriver and unscrew all the screws.



3)Try to write down where each part comes from (including the screws as they have to be returned to the same location at the end. Stick them in a tub to keep them safe.

4)Turn the unit back up the right way, holding it all together. Place on the work surface and gently ease the case open. You may have to tilt the lid slightly towards the front, and slide out to avoid the cd tray. BE CAREFUL not to damage the eject/power button ribbon cable, as these are very fragile.



5)Remove the 4 tiny screws from the cd drawer top, being very careful not to cause any damage.
