| 503508 | 2006-12-02 01:03:00 | Does anyone know of a good place to get replacement drivebelts for the tray mechanics of cd/dvd drives? | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 503510 | 2006-12-02 02:05:00 | You could also try a electronic repair shop. Trevor :) |

| 503512 | 2008-08-15 05:36:00 | Yeah I know this was 2 years go, but for anyone who cares, I recently found you can buy suitable drive belts from tradetech (www.tradetech.co.nz) - They're under the Audio parts section Don't need an account, just a credit/debit card |

| 503516 | 2008-08-16 06:19:00 | You could probably buy two new DVD drives and a new cupboard for less than the cost of fixing one CD drive. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 503517 | 2008-08-16 12:09:00 | What about a box of dead/obsolete CDROM drives and a screwdriver?:) Can work but usually the belts are the wrong size, and are probably in worse condition... hey even two years ago drives were NOT worth bothering to fix........unless you have LOTS of time to waste Well I would say that if it was any other part, but drivebelts are cheap, and very easy to replace You could probably buy two new DVD drives and a new cupboard for less than the cost of fixing one CD drive. ;) Unlikely, I bought 3 new belts for 3 CD-RW drives (the other 2 failed later) at 90c a piece + $5 postage. Last time I checked on pricespy, brand new DVD drives were $35 each and as far as I know cupboards are more.. :D Other than the trays not working (had to use paperclips) there is nothing wrong with the drives. Still using them today. Fix was very cheap and easy - why bother with anything else? |
