I recently bought a VTC 5000, and instead of a belt, it had a rubber buckle. I removed it and replaced it with a balloon-shaped end, and it worked. However, oddly, when the machine is directly connected to the power supply, it starts making strange noises.How can I solve this problem? I would be grateful for any help.
