One of my players had DIED.

When I put in the disk it makes a whirring noise and nothing else. 
Nothing
"moves" other than the spinning noise but the disk itself is not
spinning.

Anyone have any ideas where to start??

This is a sears player model number: 934.54800250

I have also listed some of my disks on eBay
I think a few of them might be something someone here might be looking
for..
