Follow this guide to replace a faulty optical disk drive in your Sony BDP-S360 Blu-Ray player.
The optical disk drive is a piece of hardware responsible for accepting, scanning, and playing CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. A faulty optical disk drive may produce irregular noise and/or prevent your video player from properly accepting, recognizing, and playing videos/audio.
Before attempting this guide, inspect the disc tray for any dust hampering the component's functionality. Avoid applying cleaning solutions or moisture onto the drive itself. Instead, use an anti-static brush or a can of compressed air to blow out particles. If issues persist, the optical disk drive should be replaced or removed for further inspection. An anti-static wrist strap is encouraged when managing delicate electrical components to reduce the likelihood of electrostatic discharge.
Before beginning, ensure the device is disconnected from a power outlet.
