      You cant just replace the full drive can you?..does it involve firmware or sumat..never done owt like that before..
      I believe mine is a single laser either kem/kes-400aaa as it takes the disc straight in..so can your drive tom be put into mine with just replacing the boards..thx

        I have always been lead to believe that the drive board and the mainboard have to be matched and should not be split. No doubt there will be a way of reprograming both so there is recognition but the way to go seems to be keep the board off the matched drive and replace the laser mechanism
        Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair
