Turns on but wont spin disk - Nintendo GameCube Console

Sounds like the laser has gone bad. The disc won't spin until the laser focuses on the disk, then the disk will spin.

If the power light flashes once when power button is pressed, then turns off and won't turn back on, the system needs repair.

Hi...
There's a plastic post on the underside of the Lid ( if you dont find one there ,it's broken off)..Thats the disk brake post. When you close the lid it moves the brake out of the way allowing the disk to spin

If the post is ok, clean the laser lens ( gently with a cotton swab)

well sounds like whats wrong with my xbox and the open tray problem..wont read any media. if its still under warranty return it for a fix

try removing the disc first, turn off the power, uplug from the power source, remove harddrive, reattach harddrive, turn on power, sign in to your profile, insert game disc, enjoy!

MOST LIKELY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR THAT SPINS THE DISC - NEEDS REPLACING

have you tried various disks? certan disks may either be scratched or dusty so you coul take a can of compressed air and ust out both some umd's and the umd tray of the psp. also, if you're usuing a custom firmware, you may find it will work once you revert to an official firmware

open console,spin disk, and close

This can be fixed by adjusting the POT on the rear side of the laser. My Aiwa had the same issue and there is an orange screw on the rear of the laser. Turn it about 1/16 - 1/8 turn COUNTER clockwise.

Please understand, this is a temporary fix, and will eventually ruin your laser mechanism completely. The company is out of business and the unit is 10 years old, so I didn't much care...perhaps I will run across a CD assembly I can replace it with, but this is a temporary fix for this issue.
