Hi,
Responding to an old post, but I got derailed by other projects and only started to have another look at this player yesterday. Maybe someone is still reading this...
For some, probably completely unrelated reason, I couldn't get the player into test mode by shorting the two wires going to the door sensor anymore. The service remote still does, however, so that is not important as far as I understand. The next problem was getting the player to try to focus in the middle of the disc. The only way I can make it try that is pressing play when the laser assembly is halfway getting into position on the upper side. (I would have thought there would be a way in test mode to do things under control: moving the assembly into position and then enabling focus, but I'm unaware of any such mechanism).
But no, the disc does not spin. Pressing play half ways does make the pickup stop and try to focus, but it gives up quite quickly.
This looks like the same problems as that described in
