not the 1541 chip? nitpicking a side....
Early Philips transports had issues with the spin motor. Take off the cover and load a disc and see if the spin motor starts up. May need changing ( they are cheap).
Also the transports had a switch to initiate the spin. IIRC it is at the rear of the tray . you'll see two wire leading out. Many times a shot of LPS 1 will cure it. Also make sue the tray hits that switch hard enough to trigger it, May have to change the belt to insure that.
Good luck

He,he,he..... I thought that Phillips DAC chip was a bit off as I have a pretty nice (not in use)
Consonance CD player that also uses that specific chip.
The transport of the Consonance seems. to be pretty mechanically sound after tightening the
tightening up the screws holding the transport posts to the chasis on the bottom of the player
I'm not sure how long it took for the looseness to occur ( or if it may have been an oversight
from when it left the plant in China, that became finally became slightly audible) I swear,, the
sound also appeared to improve a bit in micro detail retrieval after tightening these screws down. I think I slightly preferred the sound of the Consonance over the Auraliti until I gave it
a real DAC to use (the Hex)
Some days I still think the Auraliti could benefit from using a LPS with it , but the Hex sounds
So very nice most of the time, it becomes an issue I place on a "for further consideration" mental list !
As the title of the thread indicates, this is a DAC with... no spinning parts.
Yes, it is the 960 dac not the 630 cd player
