Its more likely the laser focussing circuit is off somehow, and only
actually locks onto the disc with the mechanical lean to one side.
A gentle!! adjustment of laser power, Fgain and Foffset (remembering their
original places) may help.

If however there are squeeking noises from the laser while the disc doesn't
spin then its possible you have a spindle drive problem.

I agree with Arfa, sounds like loose solder somewhere on the wires or
on the pcb.
Sony also had problems with ribbon cables.
