My Oppo BDP-83 suddenly refused to load any disc. I contacted Oppo support which kindly informed they were out of spare parts. I opened the cabinet and found out the cd tray was moving out and in but never the last step where it is lifted up by the guides. I put some new silicon grease and PTFE on various moving parts but it didn't solve the problem. Maybe the rubber drive belt was slipping? I ordered two bags of 20 belts each from Temu. The shortest belt in the bag was suitable. I chose a thicker 1.5 mm diameter instead of the original 1 mm. PROBLEM SOLVED! I don't yet have to trash my old good player! Cost of spare parts $8 and I have 39 belts for other purposes.
