Samsung BD-C6900 Blu-Ray drive replacement

Hey guys.



I've got a BD-C6900 that I'd like to replace the drive in. The unit appears to have two different identifying marks for the drive. The part number AK96-01214P as well as BD-P6A-1B loader. Looking around I see various references to BD-P6A loaders and according to a Samsung part site, there are two different drives associated with that unit. I don't know the differences, so I'm hoping maybe someone here has a service manual or knowledge of Samsung units as to suggest which part numbers I can replace this defective drive with.



I'm pretty sure the Blu-Ray laser is dead as it will not read Blu-Rays but will read DVD's just fine. I've not attempted to power up the lasers to physically try to see.

These days, it may be cheaper to replace the entire unit than just the drive.

All depends. It's a 3D Blu-Ray unit...and I can't get a decent one of those for under $120. Replacement drive from Samsung...when they're in stock, is $102. For $102 I can get a 3d player, but it won't have internet or media drive support or any of that...this one does.

Plus, there's also the fact that if I had a list of actual compatible drives, I can pick one up on ebay for about $30.

In most cases, it is cheaper to buy a new one, but sometimes, you can get away with replacing a module.

Did you ever find a replacement drive? I have a 7900 that needs a new driv e and it looks to be the same one as your 6900. Can't find a dual hdmi 3d player for much less than $200 these days so I'd love to just repair this o n my own for much cheaper. Thanks!
