This 4 speed IDE changer occasionally jams trapping the CDs inside. I had it fixed once but its not worth having it professionally fixed again. Before I attack it with my screwdriver, any suggestions about how to unjam it? Any service manuals around for this very popular drive??

I discovered it was jamming when as the tray went in, it engaged a gear at the back which disengages the same motor from driving the tray and engages the drive to the head arm. The solution there has been to slide the tray in by hand and operate the rest of the load mechanism manually, but this is most likely not the answer you were looking for! :-) -- Patrick Dunford, Christchurch, NZ Email Name: pdunford Email Domain: xtra.co.nz Reader: Anawave Gravity 2.0b2

Foget it. Fry's now sells this drive for $30. It isn't worth repairing it if you can find a store that sells them this cheap in NZ.

Well, I'm sure I can replace it cheaply, but I'd rather have a go at fixing this first - first question - how do I open the case in a non destructive way? "Steven M.
