This page provides an overview of sources for replacement parts. It focusses on obtaining parts from other drives, but will give a note in case parts are available stand-alone. Many of the referenced drives can be found on eBay or other local sites and tend to be cheaper than replacing the defective drive entirely. ==Introduction== ===Terminology=== * ''OPU'': ''Optical Pickup Unit'' – common failure point, especially for older drives. The OPU houses the laser(s) and the lens(es), which are the crucial parts for reading a disc correctly.

Usually fitted with N amount of gears, where N is directly correlated to the funniness of the drive.

It usually consists of a motor and a spindle.

Because some drives are more special than others, it can be justified to sacrifice a drive of similar parts, but different model or brand, to the greater good. It is quite common to find identical parts within drives of different brands, which are just providing a different firmware to their products. Sometimes replacement parts can be found on sites like eBay or AliExpress. Compatibility is not guaranteed; if the parts are reproductions quality can also be a problem. If you order a part from such a site, please share your experiences. ===Repair Guides=== A page for repair guides might be provided on this wiki in the future. In the meantime, refer to [https://web.archive.org/web/20220509011712/https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/f15/plextor-px-755a-760a-sa-refurbished-wymiana-opu-95847/ this guide for replacing a Plextor OPU], to get a basic understanding for the procedure of replacing parts in an optical drive. Avoid touching thermal pads, laser lenses, bending or damaging ribbon cables – work with care and patience, not brute force. If you have problems or questions, feel free to ask on the [https://discord.com/invite/AHTfxQV VGPC Discord Server]. ==Parts== Motor assemblies will be grouped and given a number, due to lack of distinct model numbers (or the documentation thereof). '''OPUs may be referred to after their base unit, e.g. ''SF-DB10'' instead of the brand-specific ''SF-DB10L'' – there is no functional difference between the two.''' ===Plextor=== ====Plextor models and parts (receiving end)==== Model numbers are inclusive of their respective possible connector types. Many Plextor-drives come in IDE (e.g. ''PX-708A''), SATA (e.g. ''PX-708SA'') or USB variants (e.g. ''PX-708UF''). {| class="wikitable sortable" !
