Does anyone know how to disassemble Apple 678-0136 (Panasonic CR-585-B) ATAPI CD-ROM drive?
Its controller board probably needs recapping. But I'd also like to take a closer look at the ICs and eventually dump the firmware.
I suspect that the PCB is held by the tray motor - see those fat soldering pads marked with the red lasso:
Do I need to desolder the tray motor to get access to the PCB's front?
I don't want to break anything.
Thank you in advance!
