Would any of you know where to get one datasheet of this CDROM/DVD-rom spindle motor driver? I have looked all over the web, but never found anything... I am attempting to repair a DVD-ROM drive for a friend, and the spindle motor driver completely 'plays-dead'.
I have seen problems of that kind before, but asways with one or two of the bridge- drivers of the spindle motor driver burnt. That gives spindle-problems, but mostly the spindle does move somewhat. The 'completely-dead' state of this specimen makes me suspect that perhaps the driver is ok, but just the driver supply has burned down somewhere. Without a datasheet i can hardly find out where to look on the controller board of the DVD-drive. The chip is made by 'Rohm' but thius company seems to have no on-line datasheet of this chip. greetings, Peter Faasse -- Author: Faasse, P.R.
