Hi,
I've just completed the laser replacement on my US TurboDuo and everything went very smoothly (or so I thought). However no matter what I do the CD will not spin and eventually I get a Set Disc error. I did a basic continuity test on the wires and they all seem good (at least I think). On a hunch I put my old laser back in and it also will not start spinning the disc. The old laser was working just fine before I put the new one in (although it would not read CD-R's which is why I replaced it) so I can't understand why it won't work now.
Since both the old and new laser don't seem to be detecting the disc I guess I must have broken something when I removed the laser. I can't see what I could have damaged as it was very simple and I followed the guide. The Duo has been freshly recapped so that can't be the problem. On a whim I even tried adjusting the pot that controls the CD spindle but that did not help. Any ideas? I'm at my wits end with this thing. I think I may need to send it to someone for repairs.
