Contrary to another post here, the spindle motor, while a possibility, is
not as common as the other poster says. Older Pioneers suffered from it
more.

Yours is more likely to have a bad flex cable from the pickup to the main
board.

Is it white colored? If so, replace it with the improved type PNP-1343.

I need to know how to put into test mode. It does not have a button
on the main board called test, just a 6 pin TP1. Do I need a special
cable? It moves the slider to home, but the spindle never spins all
the time and jumps to the next CD. Laser lights and moves in and out.
It does not show a voltage on the spindle motor.
Thanks
