It sound like the PTO clutch has died.

Did the Xbox fall over when a disk was spinning? This could be damage to the lazer reader of your discs? I would see if you can buy one of those lazer cleaners which is a disk you put in to clean the lazer if it is dirty. If the actual lazer reader is damaged you would need to call microsoft to see if you are under warranty.

If you can disassemble the CAP(disc holder) and place it on the disc while it is on the spindle and at the same time push the (hidden)lid switch you will see the lazer"s lens move up and down while trying to focus on the disc. If the lazer see's the disk it will tell the motor to turn. If it dosn't see the disc it will not turn the motor. Some model will kick the disc to spin a little while trying to see the disc. This type of player can be tricked into seeing the disc if you spin the disc a little by hand when the lazer's lens is moving up and down. At that point in time it might see the disc and take over the motor and spin up to normal speed. If the disc is an illeagal copy sold as a original the quality of the disc could be the cause. If the player is very clean (no small hairs stuck to the glue that holds the lens in place) (never clean with a cotton swab, use a shammie swab with rubbing alcohol or isopropal 99%) the problem could also be that the lazer is just not strong enough and the whole lazer-motor assemble should be replaced. Older units could use 1 drop of light motor oil on the motor shaft at the bearing to help start the motor when the system kicks the disc to spin. If the player reads the disc at the time you manually spin the disc maybe a good cleaning and oiling is all that is needed. The disc spins clockwise. if the disk spins counter clockwise replace the whole assemble. Maybe simpler, just give the disc a good clockwise spin and quickly close the door and push play while the disc is still spinning. if it starts, there you go. Don't use caned air on the lazer assemble. it will blow the dirt further into the lazer mechanism under the lens and make matters worse! Good luck!!

The lazer unit in this stereo is hard to get at, 2 circuit boards have to be removed to access lazer lens to clean it. Do not attemt unless you feel up to the task.

When you get to lazer lens, spray a bit of window cleaning liquid on a cotton bud and flick off the excess. then gently wipe the cotton bud over the lens. next use the clean end of the bud and gently polish the lens.

This may solve your problem. If not, there is a "cheat" you can try to overcome this issue... on the side of the lazer assembly there is a pot for adjusting the lazer power. Carefully nudge the pot anticlockwise a tiny bit. This will increase power to the lazer to help overcome the problem. **NOTE: do not adjust the pot too much or you may damage the lazer beyond repair**

Does the disc spin?
If not you have my problem spindle motor suspected faulty if the disc spins then its not being read, faulty lazer assy Try cleaning the lazer using dry brush disc philips do a good one and also clean the disc you are trying to play if it still doesnt work its a fault

manually cleaned lazer head, Thanks Dave.

if you cleaned the lazer eye and it still has audio dropouts then you need to replace the lazer module.

where you say u have cleaned the lens have you been in side it, if so does the dvd spin round when you put a disc in, if it does and it doesnt read try a cd in it if it reads that then it will be the lazer, if it doesnt read it it could still be the lazer but could be a few other things like spin motor.

hope this helps

Hi Brad1Christy,

The laser is either dirty or burned out. When the disc does not spin, it usually is because the controller does not see any initial data coming from the laser. Clean your laser and see if you get any response.
