Pioneer PD-M600 changer. Presents disc but does not spin up then the
same thing happens with each disc.
Anyone any clues or where to get service manual, preferably free.

Bad flex cable, dropped lens, dirty spindle motor, decayed rubber
grommets,
etc.

Motor does not attempt to start spinning,Have not checked for
voltage at spindle motor yet, just had quick look so far.
Would feel happier with schematic but the only ones I can find want
money and I am a bit wary of paying for a pig in a poke.

All that Sam said seconded. Have you checked that the lens is still in
place ? Very common for it to come out and be rolling round in the
bottom of the player somewhere ...

And despite the incredible precision involved in the optical pickup,
gently pushing the lens back in place and securing it with a couple
drops of 5 minute Epoxy often works! DON'T use Superglue!



It seems the lense is missing,Aparently the owner (friend of a friend)
moved house and then it stopped working,probably shook it loose.I think
it has fallen through the bottom of the case.
Would you still be able to get spares?
