Spindle motor or driver ic, I have found that if you fill the spindel motor with WD-40 on some units it can get a slugish motor to start, but you may still need to replace, also another thought the shipping shorting pin on the laser assemby. Although I don't think I've ever replaced a laser on one of these units, usually the customer runs when they get the estimate. Peter Oliver Tucson Radio TV From: "James M.
