My CD drawer won't open please help ?




I have an intermitten problem w/my transport's drawer it won't open, from the remote nor the unit. I opened it up and every thing looks OK, but what do I know. I slabbed some grease on the rails and it opened again now it won't work :-( I even tried the old fashioned giving it a whack still the same problem. Of course I am leery about getting ripped off by techs with their inflated repair bills. Anyone experinced the same thing before? please share your thoughts and ideas
Thank you

I once had a unit do the same thing. The rails that the drawer rides on had gotten out of alignment (this was during shipment--so it may be unlikely in your case). I opened the unit, losened the rails and manually opened and closed the drawer to align the rails. Once they were aligned I tighened them down part way--open and closed the drawer via remote and then finished tightening down the rails. It sounds simple, but in actuality it took me about 3 times to get it right. Once I got it right the drawer worked very well. Also, I would recommend a teflon based grease--it typically will not wear off. However, if the unit uses delron as the bearing material, no grease can frequently be better than any grease.
