I've checked around the forums for this problem, but it seems nobody is having this problem.

Well, my DC is spinning the discs way too fast (so fast that the cd lid won't open because of the vacuum effect that's happening) and even if I open the lid, the motor continues to spin the disc, instead of stopping as usual. I've tried the DC laser calibration trick (turning a small potometer located on the laser to slow down the rate at which the laser spins the disc), but to no avail, the disc still spins tremendously fast. If anyone knows how to remedy this problem, I'd really appreciate it.
