Rick Dangerous Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Damping rubbers? What part is that? I feel like Jaguar CD's are 25 years old, pretty soon they will all need TLC to go for another 25. Just like all Sega CD's do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rubber grommets that isolate the CD drive to stop it from vibrating the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I wouldn't mind knowing that too. I have a working JagCD and another JagCD I want to see if I can fix up. Been meaning to ask some questions about it, this might be a great thread for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cubanismo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Awesome, these will come in handy. One of my drives has one partially mutilated mount (when I repaired it, it was clear someone even less skilled had attempted a prior repair), and as a result if I don't close the lid just so, it rubs on the disc as it spins. @fille1976 When you get these, let us know if they are of comparable quality to the originals! Edited November 13, 2020 by cubanismo rubs on the disc, not runs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo_rg Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I ordered some a little while back to replace the ones in a CD drive I was modifying. They've not arrived yet, hopefully soon.

tripled79 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Ah! I noticed this when I took my CD apart a while back. The rubber grommets are slightly damaged in the process, but the Jag CD works. Anyway, it would be a good idea to invest in some of those for future preservation of my beloved Jag CD!

fille1976 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Now that i ordered them,i can also recap it and service it further,it has a new laser,so it works perfekt,tryed yesterday with audio cd and games. Also recappped my ntsc jag and my wife found back my pal jag,so gona recap that and keep that as backup,its 50/60 modded. And then waiting if that gamedrive becomes available sometime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripled79 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Speaking of work on the Jag CD, I noticed when I replaced the laser assembly that the plastic gears on the original had some kind of grease. The replacement one looked bone dry. Is there a preferred grease for these gears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_rg Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Those plastic gears shouldn't need any grease. They only move the cd lens laterally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkTR Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I just finished up a Jaguar CD repair, I thought I'd post my findings here. The issue was disc read errors due to a failing disc drive, mainly being unable to read CD-R discs. Main thing I found is that not all VAM1202 replacement drives are the same! I tried 4 different ones and the newer ones (with the white plastic on the ribbon connector) continued the disc read errors, while what seemed like an older one (with clear plastic on the ribbon connector) seems to work fine currently. Anybody else have experience with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_rg Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If possible get a replacement that has the big motors on them, most of them are the half sized one. Replace like with like wherever possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an extra VAM but opted to leave it as-is, so I can test the quality of my CD-R media and burns on iffy units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripled79 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I received my new rubber grommets. Haven't installed them yet, but they look nice and clear. My replacement CD drive that I installed a few years back seems to work. Occasionally I get the CD ? icon on screen, but a few tries usually does the trick.

neo_rg Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I prefer the ones with the larger drive and tracking motors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
