Only one way to find out.  Open up you Box, and give it a look.  I just read your other post, and does sound like a similar problem.  Good luck!

5 DJs, 1DG, 2FKs, and quite a few I can't remember have passed through my hands. One died; my fault.

Is it magnetized to the spindle on the top case?  If so then it is definatly not where it is supposed to be.  It should be attached to the motor.  So yes pry it off, and super glue it back on, and it should work.

It is right on top of the black plastic thing on top of what looks like the spindle to me.....and it doesn't feel easy to "pry off"

Ran in to the exact same problem yesterday.  Yep with a 0078fk.   These peice of shit hitachi's, had mine for a month.  I did figure it out though.  You may not have the same problem, but it was quite simple really.  Whn you open up your DVD rom look at the top spindle.  Is there a little metal circle magnetized to it?  If so, pry it off, and super glue it back on the motor.  That simple.  Like I said you may not have the same problem, but we had the exact same symptoms, and now it works like a bell.  Hope this helps.

hello i have same problem with 78fk,  it will play music cds but nothing else i was wondering if anyone could supply photos to point out what i'm looking for ? i did open up the dvd rom to see if anything was amiss but couldn't notice anything (that was before finding this) any help really appreciated
thanks
