    Where to buy replacement "rubber bands?"

    Quick question I'm hoping someone will know the answer to. I have a CD player I need to repair. It has a motorized door, but the door no longer opens or closes on its own. The problem is the "rubber band" that goes from the motor to the pulley on another shaft has stretched out over time. Where can you buy replacement parts like this? I've searched Digikey, Mouser, and Jameco - I can't find this type of replacement part anywhere. Part of the problem is I don't know what the technical term would be. I've tried searching for "band" and "belt" neither of which turned up anything.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

              Rubber bands and actual proper belts are slightly different, though. Rubber bands are a lot more stretchy but they don't really last as long as proper belts do. A year or two is about the most a regular rubber band would last. If you get oil on it or some other contaminants (not sure which ones exactly degrade rubber bands), they can break down rather quickly.

                  Yer standard run of the mill black o-ring would probably work in a pinch.

                      I had a lot of trouble with the WiFi connection from my router inside of the house into a ( new ) metal garage I had to run a 150 ft cat6 patch cord so the WIFI connection would be strong enough for the WiFi connection on the garage door opener would work correctly ( my son has a work out area in the garage as well and he was having to put his phone near the door to be able to stream music ) ( so I was going to eventually put WiFi out there anyway )

                      This garage door opener WiFi is very touchy if you lose the power it does not remember the password for the router which is weird or...

                      Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
                      by the_rem
                      Hello guys,

                      I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

                      I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

                      PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
                      by ezenia
                      Hello,

                      Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

                      So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

                      I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...
