Okay, I know that this is a little out dated as most posts I have read are about a year old. I had the same problem as most, what I found worked was if you take the cover off and leave power on, if you see the lazer fire, than it's the spindle, if you don't see the lazer, get a new DVD. If you did see the lazer fire, and your disk is not spinning just give it a little help and nudge it clockwise. (NUDGE) it should start spinning. And then read disks fine. This worked for me. The problem is lack of use, dust and other stuff had built up on the spindle and the motor is not powerful enough to push through it. If you're careful a bit of 3n1 lube on an end of a clean q-tip on the shaft of the spindle should work great. (make sure you have the tray open and then unplugged for this one) If all this doesn't seem to work, sorry. For about a 150.00 you can get a new one as they are getting cheaper now a days. Ours was 300.00 4 years ago. Hope this was helpful!
