Hi all friends,

My CD drive unit in Kodak G4 kiosk does not work suddenly.
I have a few different labs and only one kiosk so please recommend what to do with this unit.
It has a name: Teac DV-W28SLW.

Thank you in advance.

Genuine CD rom drive for Kodak G4E or G4XL kiosk are terribly expensive no reason to buy from Eastman Kodak (under Kodak part no.) since you already know brand "TEAC DV-W28SLW" . . . try compatible one or check eBay or . .

P.S. the CD rom drive on Kodak G4XL kiosk is [ CD-RW/DVD DRIVE - Pioneer DVR-216 ]

It is quite difficult to break the electronics of the Teac DV-W28SLW...
This burner is very reliable by electronics component.
But!
If the customer does not push the CD holder deep enough, this burner will have a problem with the internal mechanical parts like gears..
In this case, the main gear breaks.
See how it looks like: see file attached.
Solution: Repair the gear.

I do not recommend to place the metal gear instaed of made of plastic! metal gear will eat the plastic gear in a short time due to difference in materials.
Better to ask your local company who can print the gear on 3D printer and have it made of ABS material.
