the Peace of mettle on the hub gets magnetised if you replace it with a hub from a old crapped out computer cd drive it will work just fine or you can place a peace of tape over the mettle and that some times works _________________ <a href="http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/Users/BUD_TOKER_13"><img src="http://pid.us.playstation.com/user/BUD_TOKER_13.jpg" width="235" height="149" border="0" /></a>
awesome! I think I've fixed it!!! (time will tell )
this is what I did:
click to enlarge:
so I taped as close as possible to the edge of the ring in the middle (without touching or going over the edge to the white plastic, so that its function isn't inhibited,
I used first black insulation tape, then normal transparent tape (cause I think that sticks better, I fear if it will be used a lot and it heats up all the time, it will eventually come loose... lets hope not...),
that's what was meant, right?
only the first time when I assembled the drive back together it got stuck,
since then tried many times, never stuck yet, so I'm pretty sure it's fixed
thanks for this amazing find!!! very much appreciated!

Nice deal, keep us up to date on it since it seems to be a big prob for a few of the members now.
