Quote: The thought of introducing syrup to electronics fills me with a deep, abiding dread.That's why I said to use only enough to get it tacky. Any more and you risk sending the stuff flying into other parts of your DVD/CD player.
I honestly can't say if the issues I've had in the past were due to spinners without a 'top piece'. The units that I've had this problem
with the most were TV/DVD combo units with the DVD player sealed in a box that would have necessitated the removal of the TV tube to get at. Not happenin'.
I may dabble in DIY repairs, but anything that involves something as treacherously tricky as messing with a CRT... I draw the line there.
