Preventing static electricity
1. Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is
discharged, can destroy the laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when
performing repairs.
2. About the earth processing for the destruction prevention by static electricity
In the equipment which uses optical pick-up (laser diode), optical pick-up is destroyed by the static electricity
of the work environment.
Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
2-1 Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over it
before placing the traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
2-2 Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
3. Handling the optical pickup
1. In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the
replacement optical pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition.
(Refer to the text.)
2. Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The testers internal power
source can easily destroy the laser diode.
4. Handling the CD changer unit (optical pickup)
1. Do not subject the CD changer unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit.
2. Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific
details, refer to the replacement procedure in the text.
Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the CD changer
unit. Be careful not to take too long a time when attaching it
to the connector.
3. Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when
subjected to strong force.
4. It is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that
adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it.
Attention when traverse unit is decomposed
*
Please refer to
“
Disassembly method
”
in the text for
pick up and how to detach the CD changer mechanism.
1. Remove the CD changer unit.
2. Disconnect the harness from connector on the CD motor
board.
3. Solder is put up before the card wire is removed from connector
Cn601on the main board as shown in Fig.1 and Fig. 2.
(When the wire is removed without putting up solder, the
CD pick-up assembly might destroy.)
4. Please remove solder after connecting the card wire with
CN601 when you install picking up in the substrate.
