help on cd pickup

[mikelim]

Hi,


Wonder if you can kindly offer me some information on CD pickup with
regards to:


1. pinout


2. the structure, especially optics ( I have observed that the pickup
structure differs from one model to another, is it possible for you
to list or provide source of optics information of the cd pickup along
with the product model, etc).


Thank you very much for your aid rendered and time. I have read
through sam laser faq but it is too generalised.


Yours sincerely,
Yoong Ping, Lim

It's not the Laser FAQ that might be of use but the CD player repair
guide, since it describes in more detail the functions of the various
parts of a CD pickup.

If you have a specific model in mind, you should list it here. Someone
may have a schematic of the player using it which would then have the
pinout.

Hi there,

I have dismanted a few old cdrom drive.

I feel it will be easier for me to perhaps ask what schematics you have
and I will buy or get the cd player or drive model than the other way
around.

Please advise.

Thank you for your time.
