My (20+ years ) trusty card reader started producing strange rumbling sounds when card is pulled through. It reads the card fine but I have never heard this sound before. It sounds like some screws got loose and something vibrates when the motor is running. My question here is should I go open it and tighten (what?) something. I have never opened one of these things so I would like to hear from some of you that have (way) more practical experience. BTW, I do have all the documents about replacing gummy wheels and PPC CD's with detailed description of opening the CR, but I don't remember reading anything about this strange rumbling sound.
