I've put 3v DC accross the motor and it still works OK, as does the lens stepper motor. I think now that the laser itself is faulty, so that when the drive tries to read a CD it doesn't find one present and so doesn't start the spindle motor. The ROMs still work fine, and it isn't a data path or power supply problem. I think I can probably replace the pickup with one from a dead ATAPI drive, assuming the connector are the same. Or just buy another unit from ebay.
