Hi.
Couple of years ago I bought a Beocenter 2300. After a year of two the doors started having troubles opening all the way, so I bought a new (cheap) belt from eBay, replaced it (along with the CD clamper's belt) and everything worked fine.
Fast forward to last week, and the doors stopped moving at all. I opened the unit and the belt was broken. It was also very much crackled all thrue. Ok, it was cheap!
I am now looking for a new belt. The cheap one I had had a round profile, while many I see on eBay mention them being square. Which one is correct? Was the round one I had incorrect from the start? Any recommended sources (Martin?)?
The original are round belts, but if you did not clean the guide below the glass doors, then they might be to heavy to drag for the belt/motor, and the belt will wear out earlier.
There are some grease of some kind on the guides below, I haven't found any good substitute for them, I just clean it and use some silicone and rub it on the guides after cleaning them from old dust and dirt.
Martin probably has the correct belts. PM him.
