Ive seen this in countless DVD players either 1.the laser mech is toast or
2. the laser driver cog's are missing teeth
either way you need to replace the laser mech you can normally order one from a electronics service center to fit or you can contact the company/manufactuer and see if you can get a laser mech for the unit
now most cheap DVD player manufacturers do not supply spare parts as there made on the cheap in china and should when faulty be thrown in the bin and a new one be purchased! because it is not worth fixing!
hope this helps,ben

I'm afraid you are dealing with a weakened Laser on the unit. The cost vs. benefit ratio of fixing this unit is not worthwhile.
You will find that there are newer versions of this device on the market less expensive than what you paid for the unit you have now.

this sometimes starts spinning the disk for mine. If you hit the cover that is over the disk it sometimes starts. (the Pet724 is very hard to break so it will be ok. Ive actually dropped mine a few times and it worked every time.)

You can try cleaning the laser lens.
CAUTION!! The lens is delicate! I wipe DVD lenses with ONE drop of glasses cleaner on a Q-tip and, starting in the center, wipe in circles to the outside. Do not press down! Do not force the lens side to side. It will move while cleaning but don't put more pressure than needed to move the lens 3/4 way down!
Its a cheap test to see if there is a fingerprint on the lens. (You won't be able to see it - does not take much)
If this does not help, it means it needs a laser or worse. Probably just replace the player.
