Very good job Yogesh. Very interesting that dirty components and lack of lubrication caused this. Many times cleaning potentiometers, lubricating gears, cleaning moving parts solves the problem.

Hey Yogesh,
Well done with your repair. Sometimes we start to look for a complex fault, when it can just be lack of maintenance or misuse.
As they say - always start with the basics.

Good job, Yogesh. Thanks for sharing your repair with us. That is the first time that I have seen inside one of those devices. It would have been nice to see the PCB and components.

Interesting. So the problem was that the moving parts were not moving well/properly so cleaning and lubricating fixed the problem? Very nice.
