New here, looking for help with no spinning.

[mikeyg]

Hi all,

I'm new to the Saturn after being given one recently as a repair job.
I've been looking at GadgetUK164 videos on the Saturn.

I have determined that the motor is working by putting power on the 2 contacts of the motor on the board.

I have replaced the laser unit and also tried adjusting the pot.

When its turned on and the lid sensor is taped down the laser does move back and forth for a couple of seconds but the disc never spins.

Have also tried adjusting the spindle height to varying heights as I've been told that too can effect it from not seeing the disc. The spindle is about 1 mm proud of the cover.

The only other thing that I think it could possibly be is that the BTL Driver IC needs replacing.

I have a JVC EXL-P605 unit and the chip it has is a M56754sp. I am strugging to source this chip.
Saturn Model MK-80200A-50

Does anyone know of any to purchase this chip or do they have any other suggestion as to get this CD drive spinning?

Thanks
