It isn't a belt problem?

Does anything come up on the screen; hopefully an error message?
No, that's what's so weird. I replaced the belt myself, it works and the disk spins, but it just stays on the "now loading" screen after I put the disk in. I'm guessing that its electronical because anything else I can think of would give me an error code.

Do you have another disk you could test?

Not yet, but wouldn't a disk problem give me an error code?

I have bad disk that does the the same thing, it won't give an error code, but the disk keep spinning and staying on the now loading screen. Any other disk works fine.

This is greatly encouraging yet extremely sucky at the same time. Now I have to buy another Vs. Excitebike.
