Ive got a CD/DVD/3D Blue ray player that wont recognize a disk (tried CD and DVD’s). I have it all apart and cleaned the reader with a q-tip (aka Fleece Crested Scepter of Q-Teep). The laser dose turn on (I see it turn purple yes I know don’t burn my eyes out) and the head moves back and forth. My big questions is should the disk be spinning when its checking for a disk? The motor dose spin free by hand but the disk doesn’t spin when it checking for a disk. A lot of guides mention turning some potentiometer to adjust the laser power; I cant find any on this model. Update (05/10/2022) The model number is HBD-N760W Here are some pictures to help https://imgur.com/a/OFJ7Ek0
Hi @scootergarrett, What is the model number of the player? The disc should be spinning or at least it should have rotated because the player is looking for the TOC (table of contents) located on the disc. This applies to CDs and DVDs. With DVD it is slightly different but it still requires the disc to turn. This link describes it better than I can
