The photo below shows the CD player after it was removed from the hi-fi enclosure. It seems that there are just two ribbon cables connected to the CD player.
Sliding the white plastic moulding, in the centre of the picture, causes the CD tray to eject but this does not really permit further access to allow the head to be cleaned.
It seems to me that the larger circuit board in the picture will need to be removed but I am concerned that this removal may give rise to some alignment issues when it is put back.
Any comments appreciated.
