the subject really says it all. I have this Ricoh MP7083A CD Re-writer and
recently it's developed a fault where sometimes it fails to spin up once the
CD has stopped completely.
I'm running it with the cover off and can see that sometimes when I insert
the CD it spins up fine, othertimes it spins a half inch and stops as
thought the motor has stalled or something.
It also exhibits the same behaviour when it's been running but has stopped
because it hasn't been read for some time.
If I give it a little push start with my finger (just a gentle flick) it
spins up just fine and works OK. It passes all the Nero CD Speed tests with
flying colours.
I've cleaned out all the dust and the lens (wasn't noticeably dirty anyway)
and put a tiny drop of very light machine oil on one or two bits, the worm
gear and the rails that the head slides on but I'm now stuck for what to do
next.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
John.
