To best respond to your question, let me review what happens when the unit tries to read the disc. First a check is made to see if a disc is present at all. If a disc is detected, the next step is to spin it up. You should be able to hear this happen. OInce the disc is spinning, the initial track (closest to the center of the disc) is read. If the read fails, a number of times, the mesasge about not reading the disc is presented. This failure can be caused by a number of different things:
1) The lens is dirty 2) The disc is not spining at the correct speed 3) The disc did not get up to speed fast enough 4) The loading sequence did not complete. 5) Defective optics
I will list the typical solution for each of the possibilities above:
1) Clean the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol and try again. 2) Replace the optics assembly (motor is not a replacement part.) 3) Same as #2 4) Replace the loading belt located under the tray. (get help with this as it is a bit tricky to do without mis-timing the loading sequence.) 5) Replace the optics asembly.
To confirm that the optics are actually defective, try playing a music CD. If a music CD will play but a game or DVD will not and you have cleaned the lens, then the optics are likely to be defective. A game or DVD requires a different (higher) level of laser light to function than a CD.
