PlayStation Motor Spindle Gripping (RF-300A Mabuchi)

Post by ~PSXLoVeR95~ » April 20th, 2021, 5:14 am

Hello there :)
I was working with a 7502 with the issue of "motor gripping" (velocity changing on the motor creare reading issue) and I've solved that with WD-40.

But, after 5-6 days, the problem persist again.

Is the WD-40 evaporate quickly or the motor is gone?

Here's a video as reference :)

Thank you in advance, guys and gurls ^^!

Use clock oil on the motors. If it still doesn't come back, replace the motor with another. They are only generic 6 Volt DC CD-ROM motors so they are readily available :)
