The whole assembly is sold for a reason.
it is almost impossible to align the laser without expensive equipment.
the disc motor has a small bearing on the top,put a drop of oil on it and spin the clamper until it is really free spinning.
disc motors are small and fragile,and can cause a no read situation from a slow spool up.
Good day sir/maam, there are several possibilities thay we may try:
Stiil wont work? well sad to say, that it for the player.
Hi lcapri70,
If you have necessary tools and test instruments,
know safety precaution in basic troubleshooting try the steps below to solve
your problem.
Assuming that the disc is good.
1.Clean the lens. -
Sometimes because of dust the lens can't read any disc. Try clean the lens by
soft cotton buds. Be careful while doing this.
2.Replace the ribbon - Check
the ribbon connected to the lens from the main board for scratch,
damage. Once it has an open line then of course the lens can't read the
disc. Also try to erase the contact by pencil eraser. If you've done the steps
above and the symptoms still there then the next step requires you a little
knowledge in soldering technique and reading the ohmmeter.
3.Check the motor - Check
the motor that spin the disc with an ohmmeter. You can test it using the
ohmmeter (x1) even it is connected on the lens assembly.Good motor - reading
should be fairly high and it will spin. Bad
motor- reading will drop to low resistance and will not spin.
Hint : 50% of my
repaired unit the above parts are commonly caused of the problem.
If you confirmed that you have a defective motor
then replace it with a new one. Before replacing the new motor you have to
check the clearance of the disc holder with the old one. The clearance should
be the same as the old because if not the lens will not read the disc if it is
too far or too close.
Ifyou already cleaned the lens, and confirmed
that the ribbon is good as well as the motor then I would advice you to send it
to repair shop because the next step should be done with an expert because it is quite
technical diagnosing the fault between the pick-up lens and the main board.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

I have tried this an no improvement at all.I take it I would need the whole traverse. Hopefully not to hard to refit. I have seen one for $80. It is a modified player and sounds great so to me it would be worth it. Any more advice would be welcome
Thanks
