No error-code.

After the 3 discs are cycled over the lens, the display says "No Disc".

You've got problems in the logic portion. If it were a laser problem the
disc would rotate and the sled would slide the laser block in and out
looking for a disc ID.

Often not the case, Meat. Many players will not start to spin the disc up or
move the laser down its slides, unless focus lock is obtained, The movement
of about an inch is often an attempt to move the disc to a different spot to
retry the initial focusing operation, in case the original spot on the disc
was dirty or damaged. This small movement of the disc may be carried out
just the once, or several times before it gives up and declares there to be
no disc ...

Just as a matter of interest, why has the OP started a new thread, instead
of continuing with his original, also called "Compact disc doesn't spin"
started two days ago ?
