Hi All and CM2k Yes I did clean the lens and rotated the disc back and forth I did not = hear a scratching noise but a did feel the disc motor get a pulse not = enough to cause it spin. The motor is a stepper type motor not a DC type. = Would any no have a schmatic on this unit??? Thanks One thing I didn't see in your letter was if the laser was emitting: on = a=20 DVD unit, it should be fairly visible...and BTW do not look directly in = the=20 lens, if you don't want to burn your retina... Usually a optical system should give an "focus ok" signal when locked = in:=20 the pickup should stop at a point in it's travel, then the routine = continues=20 with disc spin and timing lock. A test is to rotate back and forth the = disc=20 before the unit says "no disc". If you hear some scratching noise (the = coils=20 staying tracked on the groove), your lens is in focus. If so, then the = drive=20 for the motor, a heatsinked flatpack usually, or the motor itself is=20 faulty.Check with scope for square wave pulses on the motor lines....Expect= =20 the changing of the whole Pickup mecanism if it is the culprit: usually = sold=20 as a whole......... I could also add the turntable height but these are usually frozen on = the=20 shaft and rarely go wrong... But try a cleaning of the lens before......
