Panasonic 3DO CD Drive Repair (FZ-1)

A short video covering the repair of a Panasonic 3DO (FZ-1) given to me by Beaps73 – Thanks mate =)

For my FZ-1 I needed the 11 needle & 4 needle (11p / 4p) version. You can be unlucky and find the 4 pin connector is larger than the socket on the board, in which case you would need to do what was done to the original replacement on this 3DO. The replacement I installed was just plug and play and designed for an FZ-10.

Here’s the unit I ordered (updated 25/05/2017 – price has gone up on these):-
