CD-ROM drive.
Attempting to fix an Audio Solutions CD jukebox. Basically a CD player
with an HD that you can rip CDs to. HD and CD look to be standard PC parts. It the CD player drawer which is sticking. Won't open (from closed) on the button or close fully if you open it manually. But does motor most of the way to either. Cleaned it up and re-greased the bits which were greased before, and the drive belt looks OK, but still the same. The drive is a Lite-On LTN 529S, IDE. I've got a couple of spare ancient CD drives that still work, but they are longer than this one so won't fit. But the one I tried (a Packard Bell) did work OK with it, so it may be near any CD-ROM would be OK. The older drive is about 210mm long. The Lite-On about 180mm. Looked on Ebay, and can find a new Lite-On in the US, but going to be too expensive. Anyone guess at an equivalent that is going to be cheaper? Is there an easy way of identifying between the long and short drives in an Ebay ad by description? -- *How come you never hear about gruntled employees? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

I've got an even older Relisys DVD ROM drive from 2002 lying about doing nothing. Taken out of a previous PC and replaced with a R/W as I remember. It was working OK when removed so should be OK.

The daft thing is that I have a Panasonic dvd ripper to usb stick machine I
bought from Amazon at under 40 quid. it does work but to me is a little limited in what it can do. Its a fair cd player, but has that annoyance of not playing classical cds with track markers without a glitch at every one. Rubbish firmware?

To use a R-W - or a DVD type involved new software. But it's got a bit more curious. The original drive has an open/close switch on it. Not used, as there is a separate button for this which presumably does it via software. If I use this switch, it opens and closes just fine. -- *Strip mining prevents forest fires.

No 1 cause of this is the grease has gone sticky, sometimes combined with dust too, but hopefully you replaced all that. No 2 cause is the tray motor has a burned out a pole, and when it stops in certain positions, it can't start again or has very little torque. Measure motor continuity whilst slowly turning it through one turn. I diagnosed one of these just recently, and we had no spares, but afterwards the owner found another drive with an identical motor at home and swapped it across successfully. -- Andrew Gabriel |

Is that "open/close switch" an electronic one or a mechanical one that releases the mechanisum allowing it to be opened manually? If you think of those old CD-ROM drives, they all had a switch for open close. And often a headphone socket. And an analogue sound output on the back. As well as a mechanical release - usually requiring a small screwdriver or opened up paper clip. If electronic maybe the hardware version just drives the stepper motors the required number of steps ignoring (some of?) the sensors. Not a stepper motor for the tray.
