Dvd Drive Spindle Wont Move Up Or Down!
« on: April 30, 2007, 07:44:00 PM »

The part the lifts the DVD's up off the tray wont go up by itself. I here it trying and if a put any pressure pushing on it it will go up and reads the disks fine. If i hit the eject button it will and becuase it wont go dont but if i push on it the siltiest little bit it will go down and open fine. Could it be guncked up with dust or somthing?

I DONT know if its a botched mod i got it for the cables but decided to mess with it a little bit. But like i said it reads disks fine

Take the belt out and clean it up or replace it, as well as make sure the thing moves up and down without binding on something, it sounds like one of those two problems to me. Start proofreading your question/description before posting them also, because that 3rd sentence nearly gave me a headache. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Wow yeah i dont know what happened there, unfortunately i did proof read!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Let rephrase/correct

The part the lifts the DVD's up off the tray wont go up or down by itself. I here it trying and if a put any pressure on it it will go up and reads the disks fine. If i hit the eject button it will hang becuase it wont go down but if i push on it the siltiest little bit it will go down and open fine. Could it be guncked up with dust or somthing?

The belt is the probelm. What is the best to clean it with? Or where can i get a belt? i was thinking the little black hair rubber bands. But they may be too small.

Also sometimes when i open the drive it closes right back? Oh and i think the magnet is too strong. i saw a fix on here but cant find it now, can someone link to it?

I could understand the first post fine, it's just worded all wrong.

Just use a clean towel and wipe it off, look in the BST for a replacement or get the dimensions of it and start looking around online for an equivalent for it.
