From what I hear from my friends in the business, either the spindle motor fails (turns too slow) or the laser pick-up dies. It could also be bad electrolytics in the power supply. You might try cleaning the pick-up lense before you try anything else. Then try the caps. If that does not do it, it's probably not worth messing with for economic reasons. I think those Toshiba DVD/VCR combos are made by Orion and they were not meant to be serviced. I've repaired a few power supplies in DVD players; but, that's about all the luck I've had.
