C:13:01 format error

I have a Sony MVC-fd87 camera here at work that started to show the c:13:01 "format error" when inserting the disc.I totally disambled the entire camera and took out the disc drive and took of the small steel plate on one of the sides (the one that holds the electronic card mounted on the drive).Under it I could see the read/write "head" thats supposed to come in contact with the disc when inserted.The flat cable that connects the read/write "head" was stuck under the steel plate so it couldn´t come in full/any contact with the disc.Moved the tiny flatcable and I reassembled it all and....It worked!No problem since,dont know for how long it will last but if this could help anyone with the same problem,be my guest;)(I think "someone here at my work dropped the camera and put it back in the box when they discovered it was broke!?)
