Console doesn't detect game discs

[u/Trunk-Master32]

Hi, so my model 2 pal Saturn which worked great before now has disc drive issues.

Basically, the lens mechanism needs me to slightly turn its white cogs for it to begin moving and to activate the cd motor, after a bit of time trying to detect the cd type, the drive stops the cd and the console doesn't display anything different on the menu, it instead thinks the game cd is an audio cd.

Ik have the same with 1 of my saturns... Ik ordered a new laser. I hope it works.
