                  I replaced the whole laser pickup. I found it for a pretty good price here:

Now it spins just fine. The only problem is that I think I damaged the gold colored ribbon cable so after a few seconds I get an error saying that there is no disk. I can't find a part number on the damaged cable. Some luck. Reply

OK, my last reply was ignorant.  There is a solder short on the top side of the circuit board that needs to be removed.  Remove it and the DVD player will stop saying 'no disc'. 
    I purchased the replacement part for the Sony CD/DVD Player, somehow I was still getting a Insert Disk Error, I compared the two part replacements and find out that the Spin Motor was the correct part, but the laser beam module was not. Since my DVD Laser was still operational, I swapped out the spin motor only. I got it to work perfectly.

    Eric,
I initially had the "no disk" error:  make sure the top (white) plastic is also spinning...usually a light touch will realign it.  I had the "no disk" problem first, NOW the disks have stopped spinning entirely, and I'm looking for a replacement drive. Thanks for the link! Reply |
