I have a problem with the tray sticking on my CD player. The tray won't close when I press the "Open/Close" button. I had this problem several months ago, and I got it repaired under warranty (I think they replace the tray or the tray mechanism) and then it worked OK for several months. But now it is doing the same thing all over again (tray won't close). If I spray a small amount of lubricant onto the sprocket mechanism underneath the tray, that fixes the problem but only temporarily. What can I do to fix the problem permanently?
Reoccurring tray problems are a paim. It mauy be a spot of oil or grease on the tray motorbelt, or the wrong belt fitted, and or dry failing bubricant to opening cam and sliders. Best approach is to strip and clean everything, lube only with white plastic grease, and sparingly. I use graphic powder on tray sliders, be careful not to get lubricants on drive belts. try next size down belt also, or be sure the belt fitted is 2.0 mm crosssectional area

Tray doesn't stick. It just opend by itself and closes by itself in a few seconds. Purchased in January 2005 and very seldom used.
