Subject: Re: RX01 felt pad (Tim)

I just took apart my RX02 to clean them since they were getting flakey. On a previous drive I just went to a craft store and bought the closest material I could find, cut it to a small dot to fit in the cup. Put a drop of glue in the cup and push the material in. To get the drive out for access. 1) Remove from outer shell if you have the desktop unit. The top cover comes off with obvious screws then ones along the side free the internal unit. 2) Disconnect the cables to the controller board and motor power connector on the back of the drive hidden by the air baffle. 3) Remove drive from rest of assembly. 2 screws through the air baffle at the back and 4 from the top down. If you tilt the upper board up on the hinge they are accesible through holes in the lower PCB. That should free the drive. You can then lift up the little presure arm to easly get at the pad. I don't have any real RX01's so they might be 
slightly different for disassembly.

Much easier on an RX01.  I don't have to remove the drive.  Remove
3 screws from top board, and flip back.  Remove 8 screws on lower board and remove a few cables (remembering where they go) and lift
lower board and tilt towards back of unit.  There thru two pretty
good sized access holes are the heads and all.  I simply put a small
drop of contact cement on the holder and a very small amount on the
pad.  Let both dry for about 10 minutes.  THen put the pad onto the
bottom of the holder.  Voila.  It should work.  Hardest part was keeping the little pad on my finger to stick it to the holder.  It
kept falling off.  It's setting up now.  I will test it later.
Thanks all.
