The most common failure is lubrication of the laser pickups slide rails
the laser has to move similar to a floppy drive head. You'll need to
order this from manufacturer or find where they recommend to get it
There are different types of lube.

Next is the spindle motor this can cause skipping or the symptom you
described. Depending on the model you may or may not be able to 
buy the motor seperately. EX: Sony sells only the whole mech assemply
for 125.00 when the motor should only cost 7.00 or so.
 
The last is alignment, you'll need a manual, service bulletins, test
equipment and training. Good luck

Try calling the manufacturer and finding out where you can ship the
unit to for "Factory Service". They are usually cheaper than the
local factory authorized service, and if they cannot fix it they can
replace it .
