What to do with seized hard drive motor?
Since the motor is on the bottom of the chassis, the process will involve a total strip down and rebuild. This involves disassembling both the patient and donor hard drives to their component parts, and rebuilding the replacement hybrid.
What should I do if my CD player motor is not spinning?
If your CD player motor is not spinning, chances are that it has quit working and your prized high-end CD player has the option of either being repaired at a service centre or ending up in landfill.
What causes a compact disc to go bad?
1. Worn, stretched, oily, flabby, belt. 2. Dirty mechanism or gummed up lubrication. 3. Defective motor or bad connections to motor. 4. Stripped gear or other mechanical damage. 5. Missing/bad voltages from power supply. 6. Defective microcontroller or other logic.
Why does my disc spindle motor keep failing?
The spindle motor is often blamed for everything from long distance skipping (coarse tracking problem) to disc spinning too fast or in wrong direction (a control problem). Spindle motors do fail but they are not at the root of all problems. 13.8) Spindle motor drive modification to minimize chances of future problems

How can I test my compact disc motor?
A motor can be tested for basic functionality by disconnecting it from the circuit board and powering it from a couple of 1.5 volt alkaline cells in series (3 V) or other power supply up to 9 V or so.
