Nice fix but note that WD40 could make the rubber belt slip or rot eventually (like spraying a noisy fan belt in a car with WD40 which makes it nice and quiet until it splips or breaks!)

I've had a couple of pioneer dvdrws and both lasted 2 or 3 years each before they started to fail - usually stop burning halfway through or not recognise more and more types of dvds. I think they died through overuse though because I do burn a ton of discs so if you ever did get one and are not a heavy user then they are probably good value.

I've had them fail due to lack of use as well...... it seems you can't win but at least the drives are very cheap these days, pretty much disposable items unfortunately
