Thank you so much GINKO, . I have been experimenting different ways of closing and at one point it run perfectly. Have not been able to do it again though.If you think I still have to open the combo, can you please give me detailed instructions on how ti do it.
That is clearly an hardware problem. Only easy operation you can do to try fixing it is cleaning the lens, sometimes dirty lens can give you similar problems. second solution is disassembling the combo drive to identify mechanical problems and assembling it back. Third step to do is checking the electronics (controlled board, heads, motor, etc), but probably at this point will be more convenient to find a second hand combo from ebay. They shouldn't came too expensive.
cheers
