Wont spin
cdfreeze,
DVD drives spin up the platter and attempt to read from it. If the read fails, they stop spinning the drive. So, I think the problem you have is that the device won't read.
DVD drives have some very small plastic pieces that can break and cause failure. They also have a read head that can get out of alignment.
If you're ambitious, look at the drive and see if you can find any other damage. Don't run the drive open, though, because there is invisible laser that can blind you (there should have been a warning on the top of the drive when you opened it).
I checked eBay and this DVD player sells for under $20 (including shipping), so don't spend too much time on it.
Definitely let me know if you have questions or comments.
I can tell that it is having trouble spinning because I've looked at it. The dvd does not spin and it makes all sorts of weird sounds. Mostly it sounds like gears trying to turn but every now and then there have been odd beeps. I've cleaned the area of dust with an "air can" and left it unplugged for up to an hour waiting for it to cool off. Neither things worked.
if your dvd is not spinning usually the display has on no disc that means the set is getting power into the circuit.however i can recond that the tray can open and close so i will take it that your led motor and try motor are fine and working.i point your problem to the spindle motor. this motor is between the two mention motor and is actually the .change this motor and your dvd will restore back to normal.
