Re-assembly is pretty much the same, remove the rail from the old laser, install it in the new one,
and put it back in place making sure the gear is fitting into place. See that the bottom rail fits in
place between the two "bumps" on either end. These are just little raised knobs of metal that
create a bit of a trough for the rails to reside. Once the bottom rail is in place then install the top,
also noting that it fits into the little trough. Now just install the four screws (screw them down
well), reconnect the ribbon cable, install the top tray, put the console back together, and get ready
to be impressed!
Note: Some lasers ship with static protection enabled, a solder blob must be removed for normal
operation. Use a 15Watt or other low temperature soldering iron to wipe the solder away. We
remove these prior to shipment but on occasion we have missed one and shipped with static
protection enabled. For the drive to function normally the solder must be removed from the point
circled in green.
