I did use the search button, for everything I could think of. If there is an answer out there, I missed it. My apologies for posting on something already covered.
I managed to get a hold of a 16x DVD burner (slot loader) for free the other day, so I figured I would use it as a learning experience and attempt to identify and extract the diodes. Well, I believe I managed to identify them, as they had a small handful of tiny lenses and prisms in front of them. Here's what I found:
Left to right: diode 1 and diode 2.
I don't think my problems are difficult to figure out :na:. Here's a picture of the other issue:
(diode 1) This is my primary issue. The number of pins on the back of these things. They both seem to be wired identically save that one is upside down as opposed to the other:
Yes, this is the other diode, diode 2.
Anyone have any ideas?
(12-pin, rectangle diodes)
