This model is not of the same affected series as the ones you're
thinking
of, which include the DVP-S360, and DVP-S560D, though the pickup is
the same
type.

There were some resistor values in the 360's etc which tended to
result in
the pickups being overdriven and the coils shorting out. This does
not apply
to your DVP-S530D.

Replacing the motor only is not an option for most people, even if
you can
get one. This mechanism is not designed for service, though a
technician can
sometimes sway a spindle motor from a scrapper. Problem is resetting
the
disc platter height, which is pretty critical.

Weighing against repair in my opinion is that the 530D will not do
CD-R's,
except for "special" silver CD-R's.

Also new models will do newer formats and often include JPG picture
viewers.

Thanks for your reply. So, most likely the optical reader needs to be
replaced and the proper part is found he
