    • Now that the optical drive is removed from the case, flip it over and locate the ribbon cable.

    • Gently pull out the two sides of the brown tab underneath the ribbon cable, see images for detail.

    • Once both sides of the tab are out, it should require no force to pull the ribbon cable out of the connection on the optical drive.

    • Now the optical drive should be removed and still connected to the circuit board which was underneath the buttons.

    • Desolder the optical drive wires from the circuit board.

    • If the wires need to be removed from the circuit board, you may need to use an adhesive solvent to fully dissolve the glue.

    • For proper soldering and desoldering techniques reference How To Solder and Desolder Connections.

    • Soldering requires the iron to be at hot temperatures and can cause burns. Wear safety glasses as needed. Be extremely careful with the wires and board in this step as they could melt, burn, or break.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
