Hi there, I had the same problem with my DS65. I've tried to clean the jock but it didn't seem to help. However, I have been able to locate the problem and solve it for now. Thanks to Kirans' explanation, I have been able to locate the part which he calls "capston" (when you open the bottom cover this part is right from the head, it has some marking on it : VRDW0003 and below that it says : 3030. I have notice that, when "TAPE EJECT" is pressed this parts gear needs to move the one next to it. However, the "rattling" sound is produce by these 2 gears skipping. Therefore, I have notice that my "capstor" has 2 small screws which beacem loose and alow him to move away from the neighbouring gear. You can try to press "TAPE EJECT" and gently push the "capstor" in the direction of the gear. It worked for me perfectly. However, I have been able to tightenonly one of the 2 screws holding the "capstor" since the second one was hidden behind one of the gears and I wasn't even thinking of trying to remove the gears :). I have tightened one of them, the "capsotr" is now in place and my camera is functioning again:). Since I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is no official shop that can repair cameras, I was already searching for new one on the eBay, but thanks to this forum, I have been able to solve this problem for now (I expect the screw to unloose sometimes in the future again). peace...ned p.s. if anyone needs additional info about this "repair" please feel free to contact me.
