Amiga cd 32 door problem

Repair the hinge. WD40 and/or take apart and put back together. It should be far smoother than that! Does it work when you weigh it down?

It's probably a misaligned spring. I've seen a few where the spring has been removed and the hinge no longer holds up the lid but the CD lid closes and works under gravity. Would be better to salvage the spring put if you have to remove it it should still work.

Yes, they contain acid that burns the trace lines on the motherboard! However, if you are using it regularly you should notice weird behaviour if they start to go i.e. sound only out of one speaker etc. I should get mine checked out but it's getting the time. I have had my Video/Sound module recapped because the sound went funny but should have had the whole machine done I guess.

so you wish to say that; hinge is inside and she move from her place and  need to be back in place? console works if you hold doors or put  something to hold them down

Yes, hopefully the hinge can be cleaned, lubricated with WD40 and screwed/superglued back into place. It is all spring loaded and a fiddle but you should be able to fix it.

It looks like the CD1200 prototype has the same problem as your hinge on the CD32!

When you perfect the repair procedure maybe you should offer your services to the Retro Computer Museum Leicester!
