Title: Ack! The dat tray on my R500 broke!
Post by: ethan on September 21, 2006, 11:37:32 AM


Anyone have an Sony-R500 maintenance manual?

I opened the tray on my R500 this morning and it just fell out. I don't see anything noticably broken it's just disasembled itself. I really can't spend a lot of money fixing this but I need to get it operational. I think I could figure it out with a schematic from a manual.

I can't f'ing believe it! I actually fixed the mofo!!! w00t!  ;D

Took the case appart and pulled the assembly. Took a while to figure out how these two little springs I found in the case fit on the tray but once I figured out they put pressure on the tape when it's closed so it can make contact with the sensors all was well...
