ok it says no other parts required besides the tweezers and the t9 screw driver, but it doesn’t mention what model of BD-ROM is suitable to replace it with.

The six long screws actually take a T-10 bit

Please FIX Number 8 THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

Unfortunately the manual is not correct here. Above the black slot is a white switch / pen, fold it over with your fingernail, so fold it over to the front. Then the cable can be easily removed without any problems and tweezers. GERMAN: Hier ist die Anleitung leider nicht korrekt. Oberhalb des schwarzen Steckplatzes befindet sich ein weißer Schalter/Stift, diesen mit dem Fingernagel umklappen, also praktisch zu der Vorderseite umklappen. Danach lässt sich das Kabel ohne Probleme und Pinzette einfach abziehen.
