Following Sp00ks great guide/thread on how to stiffen up your
N95-1's loose slider
HERE , i decided to carry it out on my
N95-2, and document my progress, with photos, which I hope will accompany Sp00k's, as after following the guide, and successfully repairing my
N95-1 loose slider, I felt confident enough to carry out the same job on my
N95-2, and add some tips, which I found made the job a little easier, not to mention any slight differences there were between models.
All photos can be seen
HERE, password is N95Users, there are descriptions for each photo, which can be seen when viewed as a slide show. The photos are in reverse order however, and I can't figure out how to change that, also a couple of typos in descriptions, which I cannot seem to be able to edit, but not to worry.
Anyway, main photos illustrating tape application method to slide rail.
Cut a small piece of PVC tape, and carefully apply to to the rail (The lip)
Once you have attached the tape to the rail, firmly run your fingernail up and down the rail, ensuring a good bond.
Then, what i did, to make things easier, was to stick the rail, with oversized tape to a hard plastic surface(One I didnt mind scratching)
The, carefully, using your scalpel, trim the tape...
Once trimmed, you will have a rail looking like this..
Again, run your fingernail, or anything small enough with a small edge, run along the edge of the rail, ensuring the tape is well stuck.
then, if like me, you have any overhang, finally trim tape again with your scalpel, this time, like photo below, running your black(scalpel along the rail un a slow, up and down motion, like cutting with a saw).
Put it all back together, and you will have a nice tight slider
Thanks for reading!
