PART 6 : CD INTERFACE, THE WHOLE CABOODLE

76.
The top side of the CD Tray Interface.  Looks all good, apart from that link.

77.
Back to the underside of the mainboard.

78.
Underside of mainboard.  Hopefully you can spot the error

79.
OK.  3rd mistake.  Diabolical, no?  This time it is not on the underside, but rather the top.
80.
Another view of this mistake.  PAH!
81.
The final piece of shielding.  This belongs at the bottom
82.
... And this ladies and gentlemen is what goes into a MEGA CD.

Outer Housing, Inner Shielding, Rear Power/Output board, Mainboard, Screws, CD Tray + Interface, Laser, Lock Switch, Front Panel and CD Pivot.

83.
Similar to 82.
84.
Another view of the whole thing.

Sorry about the quality.
