Hello everyone,
I recently got a Sony CMT-EX1 CD player and it was a bit broken. I was able to insert a CD but it wouldn't let me eject it. After doing some research I quickly found out the problem is likely a worn belt. I then ordered a replacement and then tried to repair it. It was a difficult process and I had to unscrew the back because I wasn't able to get the belt inbetween the gears. It somewhat works now although only if the case isn't on which is of course a problem. My guess is I'll have to re-grease the mechanism.
Now the thing is after my first attempt to repair the thing I noticed that some gaps have appeared in the CD-area and the display. I don't know what caused this and don't know how to fix it. Does anyone know why this happened and how to fix it? I'd also like to know if re-greasing would help the mechanism open properly again.
This is my first time repairing something like that so I would really appreciate some help
Thanks in advance and have a great day! :)
