Two more screws and out came the rear board.
I see a heat sink, but that's probably the most interesting thing on this board.
This is underneath shielding to the mainboard.
The front MEGA CD panel came off the tray!
Ahh Shit!
The full rear board coming out of the MEGA CD.
OK now these JAPS are starting to scare me. This is a genuine cock up. No Audio Out was that?
How on Earth does someone screw up something as big as this.
Underside of the famous cock-up board.
The full underside of the rear board.
The rear ports in Circuit form.
Side view of the rear board
Ahh the ports again. Dusty aren't they?
Back to the tray now... I want that laser. It's MINE.
There's just a few screws to be rid of, and it's all mine!
A close up of the said laser. JVC loud and clear. You can also see the motor.
It's free of it's housing. I first had to unplug the connectors you see here to get it loose.
Looks nice.
Another view...
A few more screws, and the CD Tray is coming out.
The CD Tray comes out complete with its circuit board. It looks like I'll have to work on this beast externally...
