Are you saying the player spins up the spindle motor without a disc loaded? Also, does the loading mechanism work?
Yeah the spindle starts spinning up immediately, the loading mechanism is not currently working but it did when I got the rest of the player to work the first time. Like I said none of the controls are working in this state.
Nevermind lmao. I really jumped the gun on this one. I appretiate the help but I couldn't shake this weird feeling and what do you know, the problem was obvious! I found a plate soldered to the bottom of the main board and I don't know if it was the previous owners handywork or from the factory but the solder job was less than ideal no clue what it does but now that its reattached I have 0 issues! I've attached a picture in case you're curious. I'm not great at soldering but I promise it looked worse before I started! Once again thanks!
