So I’m back! Today i went to my parents home and got a few parts for a famicom mod i’m working on, and in the basement i found my very cool Sony MDP 650D-player! Though, i am using a very very good player in my media shelf, though this one is quite unique, it plays both pal and ntsc in RGB!
My main player does not support PAL (as it is a american ld player), but anyway, back to the fix.
The first thought that came to mind was a broken rubber band,the player made a big squeeky sound, though it did work like 1 of 10 times,

so, i opened it up
Now, in the lower right corner, there is a rubber band, used to pull the deck back and forth, AND to lift the drive it self, SO the rubber band managed to pull the deck in and out, but not lift the drive, so i was for some time a bit unsure if THAT was the issue, the band from the player
As most of you know, these rubber bands get dry and stiff as times go on, and i could not make a new circle out of it, so what i did was finding a VERY old walkman cassette player,
as you can see, there are no more rubber bands in the player, but the rubber band it self, was quite long, so i twisted it and made a more tight circle, which i attached in my laserdisc player.
RESULT!!!!
