I have a BG CD5500 that will not spin the disc.  Is there a known fix for this, or would I have to dive into the circuits and boards inside?  Every other function seems to be working fine, but when I opened it up to "see" what happens, the disc just sits there, and the MCP says "NO SOURCE".

This is all I need to complete a 5500 system I've been piecing together - complete with RL's and coil cords - I'd really like to get it running.

Thanks

Probably the capacitors on the servo board.

There are kits available for some versions.

You will be looking for something like CDM xx

I'm not seeing anything that says CDM...    It is a type 5133.

I've taken the cover off and looked inside as well - where would this number be?

Also, while the cover was off, I watched it try to load a CD.  I can see the CD try to spin - like it's stuck or something.  I tried to turn it by hand, and it feels very tight, although I can turn it, it's too tight to spin freely.

I just purchased this and saw pictures of it working, but after shipping does not.  It was packed in the original factory packing and then double-boxed.

Hmm.. Sounds like the spindle motor has seized then.
