It's very clearly still not clicking the switch and just nudging it.

(Was busy with finals, but we're back on the grind for this now!)
Applied some extra grease to it and...still nothing.
Maybe it's not a problem with the rails then?

When you push the switch, does it make a clicking sound?

Try to see what the carriage is bumping against. Maybe there's a misrouted wire?

Ok, so it makes the clicking sound and I don't see any wire that looks like it's in the wrong place.
I haven't touched the thing since I made that last forum post BUT, when I tried to today, IT WORKED, and successfully read and loaded the disk.
But then when I did a hard reset, it STOPPED WORKING AGAIN.
There has to be some unreliable part that's causing this.

I just remembered...on the one where it worked, it DID make the clicking sound, but it's not doing that anymore.
