PRECAUTION WHEN INSTALLING A NEW OP UNIT/PRECAUTION BEFORE UNSOLDERING THE STATIC ELECTRICITY PREVENTION SOLDER BRIDGE
  When installing a new OP unit, be sure to connect the flexible printed circuit board first of all before removing the static electricity prevention solder bridge by unsoldering.  Remove the static electricity prevention solder bridge by unsoldering after the flexible printed circuit board has already been connected.  (Do not remove nor unsolder the solder bridge as long as the OP unit is kept standalone.)
DISC LOADING MECHANISM
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic break-down because of the potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.  During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair parts.  The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care. 
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused  on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
