Hello,

I tried a new laser pickup and it did not fix it. Seems to be the same
problem.

The spindle motor is spinning the disc, but it will not read the DVD or
CD.

I would pay the high price for a new motor, if that is even the problem.
Anybody know of a place that sells this motor cheaper that Sony?

The unit is trying to read the disc and I can hear the laser trying to
focus.

I guess it's possible the motor will not reach the proper speed or has
trouble staying at the proper speed. I'm really not sure.

If you add a new laser pickup, do you have to calibrate it?

Any Ideas on this?

TIA
Jim

Many (most) laser pickups have a solder short which must be cleared before
the new pickup will function.
