I just got a Panasonic FZ-1 3DO today, I set it up and it boots just fine into the "insert cd" screen, so I put in a CD, close the drive, the green access light turns on for a bit, and turns off, and nothing, the screen goes blank. The CD is in the exact same spot after leaving it in for a while. I was wondering what the issue is?/what parts I should purchase to get this neat/weird unit up and running again? Do I need to purchase a new drive? If so, which one is a good "drop-in" unit? Do I need to replace some belts or gears? If so, which parts do I need to refurb this unit? Anything else that I am not thinking of? Thanks!

I just found this Casio Z-7000 with Trimble GPS Map 110 UniCard and I had a couple questions about this unit. The GPS maps slides into the side of the Z-7000. 1. What is the history behind this? It seems like these are GPS maps for a pilot, but I cannot seem to find anything on these units. 2. The unit seems to work well without the GPS card inserted, however, when I place the GPS card in the unit (I replaced the battery in the card) the unit freezes and does not respond to any inputs. I remove the card and all works great. Thanks for your help!!
