Hello,
If the disc does not spin it will cause the optical reader to not read the disc, which will give you the "no disc" or "invalid disc" error. If a disc will not spin, the most common cause of this is due to a spindle motor malfunction. The good news is that it can be fixed on average of between $70-90 dollars depending on what service repair technicians charge in your local area. You can fix the problem yourself if you have the patience and a bit of knowledge, but I can tell you from first hand experience it is a pain to do this.
The pictures below provide you an idea of what you are looking at.
I hope this helps give you an idea of what the problem is and helps you solve the issue.
If you would not mind, please rate my help. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
you put a dvd in the dvd player and the dvd does not spin. it just keeps saying dvd loading
Yes, same problem. DVD says loading but won't start DVD disc.
Same problem.
When I try to move the laser head, it does not move. The white plastic spindle spins when I move it, but it does not change the position. Unplugging and replugging in does not seem to solve the problem.
Exactly the same issue, tried the fix, but did not seem to work. Found that switching it off for a day, can fix the problem, but anyone know of a perm fix..?
I too found the DVD had stopped working and stated invalid disc and the player would not load, I followed the instructions on moving the laser reader and it has reset itself with no problem.
Thanks for sending that fix in, it's much appreciated
