My Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable died...what to do?

This is the 2nd time in a couple of months that my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable won't turn when I turn it on. The platter sits still.

I unplugged it, lifted the platter and re-set the rubber band, waited a while, plugged it back in, and its worked since then.

Now, dead, again.

It's about 9 years old. Should have a lot of life. It's making no sound.

I'm looking for advice/experience. thank you.

Really? Why so? I've been always thinking that cleaning fixing motor is a lot more sophisticated than just placing a new one in.

It's great experience everyone should try!
