In order to get to the laser to replace it you first have to remove the disk drive.
-
The link at the top is an IFIXIT guide that helps you to remove and replace the optical disk drive.
-
-
Now that you have completed steps 1 and 2
-
Remove the elastic band on the disk drive.
-
-
-
With the underside exposed, identity the 4 main screws.
-
Remove these 4 screws.
-
Remove the cover to expose the assembly
-
-
-
Locate the three ribbons connected to the board.
-
Use the plastic spudger to unclamp the ribbons from the board.
-
-
-
The ribbons will now be able to slip out. With the tweezers, gently pull the ribbons to completely detach them.
-
-
-
Locate the screw that holds the motherboard to the disk drive
-
Using your screwdriver, remove the motherboard screw.
-
-
-
Use the spudger's flat side to get under the biggest plastic pin on edge of the board.
-
Push the pin backwards and off of the board.
-
Using your spudger again, push the second smaller pin backwards and off of the board.
-
Then, slide the board away from the pin slightly to be free of the last plastic element (the black corner thing).
-
-
-
With the board freed from it's trappings, locate the pin securing the wires connected the board.
-
Use your spudger to press this pin backwards.
-
Lift the entire board up to free the wires.
-
Lay the motherboard adjacent to the disk drive.
-
-
-
-
Locate the 4 circular hex screws that secure the laser rail assembly.
-
Using your T6 hex screw driver remove these 4 screws.
-
-
-
Lift the rail assembly out of the disk drive. Set the disk drive aside.
-
-
-
Flip the laser rail assembly over to expose the screws.
-
Remove the screw connecting the laser lens to the plastic fastener.
-
-
-
Remove the screw connecting the metal fastener to the rail.
-
Remove the metal fastener that holds the rod to the rail after removing the screw.
-
-
-
Push the rail end to the side and out from under the metal latch.
-
Slide the lens off the rail. Set aside the rail assembly.
-
-
-
Using the spudger, release the plastic clamp holding the ribbon to the laser lens.
-
Using your fingers gently pull the ribbon out of the plastic clamp.
-
-
-
This is the lens
-
Remove the screw holding the metal fastener to the old lense.
-
Remove the now unsecured metal fastener.
-
-
-
Connect the ribbon to the replacement lens by sliding it in place then closing the plastic fastener.
-
Place the removed metal fastener on the new laser lens and use the removed screw to secure the fastener to the replacement lens.
-
-
-
Slide the replacement lens onto the right rail
-
Make sure to clip the other side of the lens onto the left rail
-
-
-
Slide the unsecured right rail back under the metal latch. (metal latch is pointed to by the arrow)
-
Place the metal fastener removed from the rail previously back in position and secure it with the screw that was removed.
-
-
-
Retrieve the plastic fastener and the accompanying screw.
-
Reattach the plastic fastener to the laser lens and use your philips head screw driver to re-secure the screw. The lens should now be attached to the rail.
-
-
-
Position the rail assembly within the disk drive
-
Use the 4 previously removed screws to secure the position.
-
-
-
Place the motherboard back in position.
-
Use the plastic pins to resecure the motherboard back to the disk drive.
-
-
-
Reattach the 3 ribbon wires to the motherboard.
-
These are the 3 wires that were detached in steps 5 & 6
-
Reattach the screw removed from the motherboard in step 7. This is the only screw that'll completely secure the motherboard to the disk drive.
-
-
-
Replace the cover remove the cover
-
Flip the disk drive over and reattach the four screws removed from the cover in step 4.
-
-
-
Flip the disk drive and reattach the elastic band.

You are done with replacing the laser lens.
-
Nice Job!
