Sony ZS-RS60BT CD mechanism Replacement

Maneuver the FM telescoping antenna out of the way and lift up the carrying handle to reveal five Philips size 1 screws, circled in red.

Stow away the FM telescoping antenna and lower the carrying handle. Rotate the boombox such that the front is facing you, then open the CD lid. Remove the two Philips size 1 screws, circled in red.

Gently lift the top half of the boombox straight up. There are a total of three connectors that need to be disconnected.

First, disconnect the flat flex cable just below the volume adjustment buttons.

Then, disconnect the two CD mechanism connectors from the main board.

With the top section separated from the rest of the boombox, set it on a flat surface.

Remove the four Philips size 1 screws that secure the CD mechanism to the top section.

You can now repair or replace the CD mechanism. This uses a Sanyo SF-P101N style optical pickup (also found under the "GEB EP-C101" branding).
