When the spindle motor begins to wear out, it does not turn the disk at a speed where the optical unit will not or can not detect that the disc is there, so it keeps rotating the disc without advancing to the next step, which is the second component that could also cause the disk just to spin, the optical unit, this device can loose its sensitivity and as a result of this it will not detect or "read" the disk. Both conditions are repairable depending on the availability of parts. The motor and pickup assembly(optical unit) can be researched by providing the make and model number, partstore.com is a common electronic internet part store(partstore.com).
