I need to find a replacement motot for my cheal DVD player. This isn't to
save money, but it's become a mission!

The best info I have is a label on it that says:

M.T.C. 5.9V. CW
03-12-17
CCM03-059R1- illegible

The motor is round, barely an inch in diameter

I've Googled my fingers off, but nothing. And since the DVD is made by ESA,
so no luck there.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to look for small
motors?

Thanks ahead

How have you determined the motor is bad?

while still a novice i was able to find two motors. one that spins the DVD
and one that opens the door. the door no longer opened, and examining the
motor for the door i noticed some type of corosion.

so while it's a guess, i think it's a pretty good one. only thing is i have
no idea how to find the replacement.

I'd be surprised if the motor is your problem, a bit of corrosion is
nothing to worry about. Fortunately motors are very easy to test, simply
apply power to it with a battery, a 6v lantern battery would be ideal
but a few C batteries in series or maybe even a 9v would work. If the
motor spins then it's ok.

Will do that but am willing to take that chance, but can anyone give me a
clue as to where to find these type of motors????

Other scrapped DVD players, CD players, some of the surplus companies
online such as Electronic Goldmine and others may have something suitable.

EXCELLENT SITE! Thanks!

Curious, do you have other company links? Would love to have as many as
possible.

Thanks again to all!

Those dvd motors are cheaply made . They run on very low voltage . A CD
motor is different .
Just because it spins on a battery does not mean its good .It could be
running rough causing problems . or have stiff bearings . These run on
such low voltage they need to turn very free to work right . Spinning
one at high speed on a battery can sometimes limber it up enough to work
again but probably not long .

What brand name is the player ?

oh, it's a cheapy...ESA. which i could easily replace for $35. however, i
used to be a tinkerer as a kid, not bad, but not on this level. so for $7
(1.29 + shipping) it's become a mission ;-)

Unless I'm mistaken, we're talking the eject mechanism motor, those are
very much not critical.

we are, but if the door won't open, then it's really critical.

What I meant is that the specifications of the motor are not critical,
anything of similar voltage and physical size should work ok.

ahhh, got it, misudnerstood what you meant. anyway i ordered the motor
already and will know in a week or two. so either this works, and i will
feel all warm and tingly inside, or my next DVD player will end up costing
me an extra 7 bucks ;-)
