Open it up to see if the movement holder came loose and got stuck in a gear. Try barely screw those things in.

If you don't have a case opener use a ball of rolled up duct tape pressed firmly against the case to unscrew the case back. I bet you a beer the rotor fell off. There is a small clip that holds the rotor on that is prone to popping off if it wasn't seated properly.

If the rotor is off, use a 10x loupe to make sure that when you place the clip back over the shaft and rotate the clip to lock the rotor down you seat the clip fully in the machined groove. Also, if you over rotate the clip the clip will pop off again.

Good luck!

Thanks for the responce guys.. I have opend the case and the automatic device bridge that the oscillating weight is attached to was flyinge around in the case toghter with the 3 screws that are surposed to hold this in place....managed to put every thing back in place and its running again. When I put it back toghter again I noticed that the rotor is much moore quiet now.. thank god for that ETA swisslab have a nice disassemble page.
