If it doesnt spin at all, that means there is a problem with either the motor, or the laser, more likely the motor of the drive.

When you put a disk in a dvd drive the laser will turn on momentarily and can detect if there is a disk in the tray or not. A weak laser that is unable to read games can still tell there is a disk in the drive.

So unless your laser is not being powered at all, your drive motor is likely dead.
