The lamp works, the fans are running. It just seems to not to want to engage. Any assistance would be appreciated.   Finnegan Tinkerer Username: Finnegan Post Number: 67 Registered: 09-2009 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

If it is a production variation then it may have a metal spring belt that may have disconnected at the ends. But I'm pretty sure I recall it having a rubber belt and plastic pulleys inside. Pop off the back cover and see.
