4.3 Service Hints
4.3.1 Switched Mode Power Supply
The power supply unit has to be replaced in case of failure. The
schematic provided in the manual is only for information and no
service parts will be available.
4.3.2 DVD Module
This module can be repaired as follows:
1. The VAL6011/14 is a combination of loading mechanism
and DVD-mechanism. Both are not repairable units and in
case of failure, it has to be replaced with a new loader
VAL6011/14.
Note: When replacing with a new VAL6011/14, two solder
joints have to be removed after connecting the OPU flex foil
to the mono board.
The solder joints, which shortcircuits the laser diodes to
ground, are for protection against ESD. Refer to figures 2-
5 and 2-6 for location of solder joints.
2. The mono board has to be repaired down to component
level. Repair handling of the monoboard requires a
workshop with sophisticated desoldering tools.
