DVD not recognized

I have a Sony DVP-S360 player that is about 4 years old.
A couple weeks ago, I was watching a movie, paused it for a few minutes, came back to play it, and it didn't work.
Now, every time I put in a dvd, it tells me there is no disc inserted.
I have opened it up and tried cleaning the laser and the drive, but still it doesn't see any discs, which play fine in other dvd drives.
When inserted, it sounds like it is spinning, and slowing down. Spins up again, then slows down, and so on until it gives up and says no disc.
Anyone know why this may be happening, and/or how to fix it?

Thanks!

Scott
