Does the head move on a toothed rubber band? Sometimes one of the teeth
gets worn and it sticks at one point like this - can you move the head
freely.

If its the rubber belt thats broken I once managed to salvage a longer
one that fit from an a4 scanner (they tend to be longer as it scans the
length of the a4 page)
