I have a small update. I was noticing that when I try to play a laserdisc, no noise is made by the player. However, when I try to play a DVD, it sounds like gears are trying to turn, but stop after a few seconds. I popped open the tray and took a picture of a lower gear that looks like it helps to lift a lower part of the assembly. Some of the teeth on the gear don't look quite right. Can anybody share their opinion on this gear and if it looks right/wrong?

Ok, I took the top off, tray out and took a video. It seems like the white gear is working with the black gear. I wonder if the assembly is not getting high enough for the disc to start spinning and be read. To blam1, it does switch h between ld and dvd lasers successfully. There is no grinding noise when the lasers are changing positions. I hope the video helps shows an issue. Kurtis, is there a way to retrain the gear to rest at a different spot?

I have an updated video. This shows startup of the player. Later, I’ll get a video showing the left side of the player. I tried using the remote last night, but issues remained the same. The unit responded exactly the same as when I pushed buttons on the front panel. You all are so appreciated! Thank you for helping me this far. https://youtu.be/w6izGzXqomQ - laser mechanism video https://youtu.be/Yu6dww3CgDQ - Side operation. Loading a disc and pressing play. Used a CAV disc here.

On the left side of the player is the power supply. There should be a connector with two wires (green and white) coming off the end of the board which disappears under the player mechanism. It is about an inch back from the front edge of the board. This is the connector for the spindle motor. Yours is acting like it isn't connected, or perhaps the motor is burned out. If it is burned out, the motor from any DVL or DVK player will work as a replacement.

I think we have a Eureka! moment. At blam1's advice, I turned off power to the DVL-909, removed the power lead for the spindle motor, and started the player up. It went through the normal startup cycle. I loaded an ld into the player, waited for it to be recognized and hit Play. It said Play on the display for a second or two, and then said Open, just like when the spindle motor was plugged in.
Curious about this, I went over to my completely working DVL-700. I opened it up, disconnected the spindle motor power lead, then started the player. It started fine just like the 909. I loaded a disc, waited for it to recognized and pressed Play. It showed the same symptoms...displayed Play for a second or two, then said Open and eventually popped the tray open.
So, it seems like the player is trying to initiate the spindle motor, failing, then kicking out the disc. Anybody got a spare spindle motor or can someone point me to working part numbers? I'll take care of the rest.
