Thanks for your help guys!

I had a look at these foam pads, they are indeed a bit weared down. But they seemed still doing their job well ;) But good to know! So then Im sure its because of this missing washer since I didnt see it when I opened the machine.

Now Im really sorry!  Im searching and thinking since 3 weeks how to fix this problem and just a few minutes later after posting my problem I got it!

I just opened it again and just put some sticking soft-gum-pads (together 6 mm high) on top of the motor metal thing, so it brings the whole spin up. Now its working without any scratching noise.

Just another question now: does the motor head getting warm or hot while working/playing? Dont want molten gum inside

Hey guys! Im not only new to the forum, Im also new to the PC Engine  O:)

I got a bunch of different PCE systems last weeks, luckily the most are working well. Even my white CD-ROM2 for the IFU works well, except it makes rubbing or scratching noises. I read a bit in the froum before to get some informations, but nothing really helps. Beside that Im not really into this fixing stuff, never done that before. So I hope to get some tips without doing any big repair ;)

The CD-ROM2 got completely new caps done by someone else, not the seller. So I dont have any contact to this person, who might get it fixed. The CD-ROM works all fine, reading all discs and has no sound or grafic issues. It just makes this rubbing noise, like the CD is rubbing on the ground. I just have a few CD games, so I tested also Music CDS but with the same problem.

BUT: there is no rubbing noise with Super CD games. I wonder if they are slightly different than other CDs, thinner or lighter?! So I feel a bit helpless, since its working well with some games, with some not.

Do you have any idea what I can do?

Thanks a lot
