Kyocera DA-610cx Won't Spin

[suntreader]

I picked up a Kyocera DA-610cx that had issues with the tray opening. I replaced the belt and the tray works fine now... I even got several CDs to play soon after the fix... the only change I made after that was turning the unit off and unplugging it. The next day, I plugged it back in and it did not recognize any CDs. The tray opens and closes fine, but the spindle does not spin with a CD in place. I do not hear anything that sounds like the spindle motor is even trying to spin... it does not start spinning with an assist. It's like the motor isn't even getting a signal to start running. I'm wondering if there is some switch in the transport assembly that I unintentionally messed up. Or something else that I missed?

The disc wont spin until after the laser has found focus on the reflective layer of the CD. You need to confirm that the lens moves up and down a few times when you close the drawer (with no CD in). The lens should visibly bob up and down.

Looks like this model came with either KSS-121A or KSS-123A and are as rare as hens teeth. Hope yours is OK otherwise big bucks or it's tip junk.

Cheers George

Pls try to clean the two switch under Laser mechanism with contact cleaner and #4000 sand parer carefully! I also got the 2nd hand Da-610cx, it sound great and worth to fix it.

My Nagoaka CD player (rebadged Kyoccera DA710cx) suddenly stopped playing CDs. Was simply a large amount of dust on the lense - I don't know where it came from unless I put in a really dusty CD I don't recall..

Have you cleaned the lense?
