From: N_Cook on 18 May 2010 03:19 Bit of plastic ring with 3 internal springs and wedges that grips the disc but comes off the metal spindle with the CD. Other than dot of superglue and capilliary flow into the join , any recognised way of refixing? Reminds me of those ex-juke box 45rpm singles with adaptor for home use

Don't overdo it on the glue though, as you don't want to press any down the shaft and into the top bearing :-\ Arfa

As occuring in a laptop drive, the bearing would be only just below the platter.

You can, yes, but the stuff I use comes on a card of like 12 tubes from the local supermarket, and costs a coupla quid ($3). It works better than all of the named brands, and is reasonably gloopy, whilst still being a good liquid - if you see what I mean ... To be honest, to be on the safe side, whenever I am glueing anything close to a moving part such as a motor bearing, I tend to put a small amount of oil or grease as appropriate into it. Then, if any superglue does find its way by migration or spillage, it doesn't actually stick to what it shouldn't. Arfa
