A few months ago my cdp was having problems reading disc. The manufacturer advised I send the unit back for a laser replacement which seemed the way to go. Before doing this I decided there was nothing to lose by pulling the laser and lubricating the rails. It was not a difficult task and the cdp has been working perfectly since. My cdp uses a Phillips transport, there was no soldering involved.
Is replacing an optical pickup assembly difficult?
Hi everyone,
Is replacing a CDP optical pick up assembly difficult?
Anything of note in doing the replacement? It is a Sony, I thought I read somewhere that you need to remove some solder which keeps the unit protected from static, etc. until installed.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Not very difficult on my Sony XA777ES. I have some closeups of the solder blob in this slide show. http://s632.photobucket.com/albums/uu43/ghtoz/XA777ES-NewLaser/?albumview=slideshow Perhaps they will inspire you. Don't forget the grounding strap. Regards, |
