This can be caused by a number of different things, some simple ones are:
- Unplug for 5 minutes then replug, this will reset the processor and it may smarten up (just like rebooting a computer)
- Take the unit apart and using a Q-tip and lens cleaner gently clean off the lens of the laser...only do this is you feel comfortable. If there is a hair or obstruction on the lens it will not read discs. If it is still under warranty, send it in first before you take it apart, it may void warranty.
- If the above two do not work then the transport mechanism may be defective and the repair would be around 100 -150 dollars, which is probably not worth repairing and it is best to look at a replacement machine.
Hope this helps!
Just a follow up, Kevin is 100% on this number.

I am an American in Europe (at present) I have three of these "Bricks". Chipping or Linux is the only cure I know of for the Multi use. But there is another problem.
If you are unfortunate to own one of these, be aware:
Depending on the MFG run it is a built defective unit.
If you receive the no disk message on all play attempts and a cleaning does not clear the problem, you have one of the MFG defective units. Cheap sub spec. parts failure. Sony has lost the responsible 1st rate rep. they once had. This problem has been going on since the introduction but Sony refuses to do the responsible thing which is to recall this MFG broke peice of garbage.
(the three I have were given to me because of the "no disk" problem)
