5 DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
5.1. ITEM TO BE CHECKED
(1) Checking Disc
Connect the AC adapter/charger or charged battery (power supply), and then press the DISC
EJECT button to make sure that no disc is inserted. After check, close the disc insertion block.
If the disc insertion block does not open normally, refer to “4-8 Procedure for Removing Disc from
Faulty VDR-M70/M50”.
Prohibition
After the above check, be sure to disconnect the AC adapter/charger or battery from the VDR-
M70/M50.
The VDR-M70/M50 has a built-in laser emitter block. Never look into it: If Laser beam strikes
your eye, it could cause serious vision damage.
(2) Checking Card
Make sure that no card is loaded in the card slot. After check, close the card slot cover.
5.2. ORDER OF DISASSEMBLY
Refer to “Disassembly Flowchart” in Fig. 5-2-1 for the order of removing components.
When reassembling components, use the reverse order to removal unless otherwise specified.
Note:
When replacing components, be sure to use only those shown in “Replacement Parts List”.
Information:
1) Board names suffixed with “-H” are for VDR-M70.
2) The procedures for disassembling and reassembling the VDR-M70 and VDR-M50 are the
same, except for the following components:
a) SHE-H circuit board
b) SHE circuit board
c) Accessory shoe
d) Lens unit (SEN-H circuit board, CCD image sensor, crystal filter, cushion)
3) The lens unit in VDR-M50 includes components equivalent to cushion, crystal filter, CCD
image sensor and SEN-H circuit board, which are discrete from the lens unit in VDR-M70.
