I've got this Goldstar 3DO and as per usual the CD drive is kaput, but this one is odd. I took the lid off to investigate because it makes a right racket and it appears the laser unit is being driven to the center constantly and clicking as it hits the middle over and over
Any ideas????
Goldstar cd drive (yep they're crap)

Exactly, it keeps turning and moving the laser towards the centre.

Have you tried making any potentiometer adjustments? When the system can't read a disc, it usually doesn't spin the disc nor move the laser, but perhaps the problem lies somewhere between? The laser sees a disc but can't quite read it and the system is attempting to move it into place?
Is the shaft still attached properly?
Can't say I've encountered this issue with an optical drive before. :\
