It's probably repairable, but most of the time the cost of repair will outweigh the cost of a new stereo. Computers are easily hooked up to a stereo provided the stereo has an auxiliary input.	ninja (1671)

Could just need some lubricant in the right place .	dolby digital (5073)
433985	2006-02-26 19:08:00	When you have it opened for a look-see, check to find the drive for the drawer . . is it belt or geared? If belt, it might be broken or slipping and easily replaced/repaired . . but if the gears are stripped with missing teeth, then it's curtains for the drawer mechanism . Some people use the drawer like a CD-rom drawer on their towers . . . . . they just give it a little "tap" to send it in and that's usually the cause of missing teeth on the gear set . Try to always use the button to open/close the drawer . . it isn't as tough as a CD-rom drawer on your 'puter . There are also limit switches that provide clues to the board that let it know if the drawer's in the full open or full closed position . . . sometimes these loose a little wheel or the arm gets bent . . and these can be replaced with a microswitch from most any electronics store . . . . (maybe even in NZ) . . . . if the arm cannot be repositioned or the wheel found and re-inserted into the arm . Can't be no harm in just lookin' .	SurferJoe46 (51)

With beetle, just thinkin' about lookin' is enough to fry your average electrical device . :eek: Cheers Billy 8-{) :D Maybe Metla could look at it for you beetle, seeing as how he is between this and that at present .

433987	2006-02-27 01:54:00	Hey !!!!!!!!!!!! I resemble that... :eek: yeah well, anything from photo copiers, to stereos, computers, microwaves, and jugs (did i miss anything) seems to have a short life for me.... My electric personality......... i had thought about taking it apart, i looked at the sub speaker the other day till i saw how many screws it had, so i put it back.................. hahahaha beetle :D	beetle (243)
433988	2006-02-27 05:32:00	Hey !!!!!!!!!!!! I resemble that . . . :eek: Resemble, or resent? Both fit in that context, but the former means you are agreeing & the latter means you are disagreeing .	Greven (91)
433989	2006-02-27 13:44:00	Sorry, Greven, but both don't fit in that context. Beetle's use of "resemble" is a joke expression, instead of saying "resent." Resemble means "to be similar to" or "to look like" - not "to like," or agree with. Think of it as a beetleism... (That OK, beetle?)	Laura (43)
