Introduction
This guide will show you how to replace the Laser Distance Sensor (LDS or LiDAR) of Roborock's robotic vacuum Q5 Pro.
You may want to do so if your robot reports "Error 1: Laser Distance Sensor blocked."
Within the guide I will also outline how to replace just the motor that spins the LDS, as well as how to clean it properly.
I recommend reading the entire guide before starting the disassembly, then following steps as needed during.
If you already know how to disassemble it or have followed my teardown guide, skip to step 11.

We have the duoroller + and it looks slightly different internally. We can't seem to see where the belt is located
