The laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup)may brake down due to static electricity of clothes or human
body.
Use due caution to electrostatic breakdown when servicing and handling the laser diode.

.1.Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention
Some devices such as the DVD player use the optical pickup(laser diode)and the optical pickup will be damaged
by static electricity in the working environment.Proceed servicing works under the working environment where
grounding works is completed.

.1.1. Worktable grounding
1.
Put a conductive material(sheet)or iron sheet on the area where the optical pickup is placed,and ground the

.1.2.Human body grounding
1 Use the anti-static wrist strap to discharge the static electricity f
ro
m your body.

.1.3.Hand
l
ing of optical pickup
1.
To keep the good quality of the optical pickup maintenance parts during transportation and before
installation,
the both ends of the laser diode are short-circuited.After replacing the parts with new ones,
remove the short circuit according to the correct procedure.
(See this Technical Guide).
2.
Do not use a tester to check the laser diode for the optical pickup .Failure to do so willdamage the laser
diode due to the power supply in the tester.

Hand
l
ing precautions for Traverse Unit (Optical Pickup)
1.
Do not give a considerable shock to the traverse unit(optical pickup)as it has an extremely high-precise
structure.
2.
When replacing the optical pickup,
install the flexible cable and cut is short land with a nipper.
See the
optical pickup replacement procedure in this Technical Guide.
Before replacing the traverse unit,
remove
the short pin for preventingstatic electricity and install a new unit.Connect the connector as short times as
possible.
3.
The flexible cable may be cut off if an excessive force is applied to it.Use caution when handling the cable.
4.
The half-fixed resistor for laser power adjustment cannot be adjusted.
Do not turn the resistor.
