    4505, "noise"

    Ribon, 4505, page 17, #21
    Ummm...think I found your noise problem.
    Tech said the PLASTIC gear teeth looked fine, but he was waiting until he took the dev drive assembly apart to verify the teeth look ok.

    Sharps DV drives used to do this as well; plastic gears eating a metal shaft. You would think it is not possible, but it is.
    DV material is more abrasive than I first thought.



    Failing to plan is planning to fail!!!

      Grease on the helical teeth will slow it down, but not prevent it entirely.
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        Tech called me back said all the grease was gray/black and had a feel like pumice. He did find a scattering of powder in and around it.
        Told him to pull a drive off of one in our warehouse and toss that one. I'll betcha the gears are probably a bit "shark fin" looking anyway.
        He pulled one and swapped it. Problem solved.
