For want of a belt
« on: May 02, 2010, 02:32:24 am »
My Future Wife's favorite DVD recorder (Samsung DVD-R120) simply refused to open the door/tray one day. So I agreed to take a look at it. After fiddling around a bit, as near as I can figure the belt is finally worn out. If I remove the DVD drive cover (with the magnetic disc) from the equation, the drive functions perfectly. Replace the cover, and it refuses to open.

I believe the strength of the magnet is too much for the worn belt to overcome.

So... where might I source a replacement belt?

Note, this isn't a computer drive. It's an actual DVD player/recorder deck.

Search ebay for DVD-R120... there are some 'as-is' and some that need work... you may be able to pick one of them up dirt cheap to use as parts.

That or a big honkin rubber band might work.

I just used a bicycle brake cable to fix the seat back release mechanism in my wife's bmw. The dealer wanted more than 100+ to even look at it  :angry:

a layer of electricians tape on the magnet could be enough to overcome the force causing it to stick.
