Philips CDI605T front panel removed Optical disc drive tray repair Shortcut: While it is possible to remove the ODD with the front panel in place, it will be much harder, especially when trying to put it back inside because of the tight space.

To have full access to the optical disc drive, I removed the bezel of it and the front panel. Even with a powerful desoldering gun, you won’t be able to do it alone, and the bulky case gets in the way. I strongly advise against it though, as it is soldered from both sides. If you remove the floppy disk drive as well, you can access it from here and try to desolder it. This is a shortcut to access the Timekeeper chip (yellow rectangle). The bottom has collected many fingerprints over the years. Philips CDI605T rear panel removed Philips CDI605T right side The debris is also present on the right side. Maybe I will take the whole case apart someday, to give it a proper sanding. I’ve found only very tiny spots on some of the port shieldings. Luckily, there is as good as no rust on the metal parts. There is some weird white-greenish debris on it that I cannot wipe off, probably caused by improper storage in a wet basement. Philips CDI605T extension cards 22ER9132 (Ethernet, SCSI, 4 MB RAM) and 22ER9424 (DVC R2.1, 1 MB RAM) Philips CDI605T extension cards removed Make sure to slide out the lower card first, otherwise its metal plate will grind on the solder side of the upper card. I began with removing the case and the bezels of the extension cards on the rear. I took special precautions and made photos of each and every step to be able to put everything back together in the end. It is actually possible to perform these repairs without taking the entire case apart (see shortcuts).
#Philips cdi emulator manual
I already had experience with a Mini MMC chassis on the very similar consumer player CDI220/00 and knew what awaited me inside (its service manual helped a bit). Some of them was mandatory for operation (Timekeeper), some of them to make it easier on the ears (fan, optical disc drive tray). My Philips CDI605T/20 needed repairs before I can fully use it.
