Hmmm. My NEC CD-650's door open/close mechanism is also acting
up. Sooner or later, it will never open again, I fear.
I've no leads, but I ought to look before it dies for good.

| Funny but my NEC 650 also has door problems!!!!! I have opened it
up many times and for the life of me I cannot figure it out. It
seems to work when I push the door in that it is able to come out.
It's a shame because the unit sounds great but the door is driving
me crazy! Next time I'll make sure to check out the door assembly
more closely!

| 1341.3 | It's a problem.... | BETHE::LICEA_KANE | | Thu Oct 13 1988 13:22 | 14 |
| re: give it a shove, and it'll open up...
...for a while. After a few weeks of that abuse, you'll have to give
it a few shoves, and then the day will come when you resort to finding
a way to pry your fingernails anywhere, somewhere, to try to grab
and pull to help it along. That's where I'm at now, and I *don't* want
to think about what happens when it won't open at all.
But yes, in hindsight, I wish I'd opened up the unit to look more
closely at the mechanure when I first brought it home. It's not a
pretty sight.

| Mr. Bill,
My problem seems to come and go with the phase of the moon. It'l
work just fine for about 1 mth then act up again for two weeks then
disapear again. As stated before when I opened it up to find out
what the problem was I became baffled, it looked fine to me. It
seems that the initial torque of the motor is not enough to push
to media fingers down. I hope that this makes sense, anyway its
a poor design.

| 1341.5 | Would you believe that it was still under warranty? | BETHE::LICEA_KANE | | Sun Oct 16 1988 17:54 | 16 |
| re: .4
The drawer motor seems to have plenty of torque, at least on mine.
It spins with gumption, whining loudly until the logic unit says
to the drawer motor "uh, if you haven't gotten it open by now,
don't bother" and displays an "E" on the display.
Does your motor actually stall? Is it silent when the drawer doesn't
open, or does it make noise?
Anyhow, on mine I'd say the belt is slipping, stretched with age.
I'll find out for sure in another two weeks. Turns out my unit
was still in warranty, parts and labor. I bought it one year eleven
months ago, it has a two year warranty.

| 1341.6 | NEVER assume! | FRSBEE::HIGGINS | What am I doing? | Mon Oct 17 1988 10:05 | 9 |
| I assumed that the warranty period expired but it is 2 years parts
and labor so back to the shop! Seems like a poor design using a
flimsy rubber belt to open and close the door instead of direct
drive - but then how will they make any money on repairs if it's
designed well? In my case the warranty is good until Jan. 89 so
they miscalculated the life of the belt by 3 months. ;^)
