Plastic worm gears that drive the head back and forth get to lose over time or get sticky from dried up grease. The Laser head (lens) is what does the fine tracking. It's pretty much all or nothing. It can track properly or it can't. Eventually it won't. Rubber belts also dry up or stretch that spin the disk and open the draw. Time, heat and use wear it out. -- mswlogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35788 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
