Switch V5 open face laser for V7 laser

**Chips** · 05-07-2003,03:35 PM

These 2 laser came from 2 manufacturer ( sanyo for the open face v5, sony for the closed face v7 )

But if you change a sanyo to a sony it doesn't work. but there is a way to make it mork.

I'm searching for the tricks to do it.

Thanks

sanyo v5 ( open face ):

sony v7 (closed face ):

That would be good if you can figure out how to interchange the 2 without replacing SMD parts on the mobo.

I have not information. I really haven't had time to compare the 2 different boards. One repair place said that some components were on locations that they were not on another board near the opening on the board itself near the laser ribbon cable. That's about all I know.

I cannot remember exactly. All I can remember is that it's just one of the places I buy replacements motherboards from.
