Is there a guide on how to clean the drive properly? I have ran into some drives that won't open /shut properly (belt issue) and heard lubing and cleaning helps. Thanks.

If that belt is slipping, the tray won't open. I use a q tip and rubbing alcohol. I slide the tray in and out while gently holding the q tip/alcohol against the belt. You'll be surprised how much dust it'll clean off.

Nice! Ever a time that the belt needs replaced?

I've seen a few Sammy drives that really could have used the belt replaced, but none that needed it asap.

stupid question, but can the belts be purchased by themselves?
