Good day all!!
Well, I got it... I figured out the issue with the drive and I came up with a near completely free fix for it... The issue was there wasn't enough down force on the plastic part... So, I put a little foam in between the smooth circuit board and the arm... It worked...
I was only working with about an eighth of an inch. I used a piece of foam from my old computer case. It had a cloth like tape around it which made it perfect for sliding on the bottom side of the smooth circuit board...
Hard to see, but this is the 1/8 inch I had to fill...
And this is what it looks like before I put the board back on...
So, I figured I'd turn it on and see what happens... I can't believe how out-of-date it looks... Do I need to just update the DVD or am I stuck with what I have?!
Cheers all!!!
