Most likely the main driving belt has jumpt off the pulleys or broke
altogether. If that's the case, it is a $3 fix. Open the deck, you'll
see it right away. Just be veeery easy on the screwdriver, while trying
to pry the top lead open. DON'T leverage it up against the PC boards!
Saw a couple of boards cracked this way.
