Need help repairing my X'eye

I got an X'Eye on Ebay for cheap.... Problem is, it doesn't read CDs. It just says "put a disc on the turn table." The switch works - I tested it with a multimeter, and the system does say checking disc for a few seconds if I release/repress the switch. The motors on the laser assembly work though I don't know if the pickup itself does. Could it be the pickup or what?

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a new pickup (Optima-150S, a direct replacement for the original part Optima-6S) from electronix.com for about $21 shipped. I'll report back on how it works.
