blastermaster #1 Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) My sega cd is not working right. I know that there is all sorts of topics on this, but most are for the front loading kind, i have the top loading kind. It powers up and sayd sega cd and then just goes to the no game screen and does not even spin the disk. I already looked to see if i needed a new belt, but it does not seem to have a belt....any ideas? Thanks! ~Jon Edited August 5, 2005 by blastermaster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narutofan #2 Posted August 7, 2005 Jon, i think it is missing the belt or the belt is broken. also the laser is probobly broken, otherwise it would at lest detect a game, just freeze. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegamezmaster #3 Posted August 7, 2005 You might try to use a qtip or canned air and very gently clean the lazer lens. It just may be dusty or a little dirty. But try this at your own risk. Otherwise sounds like the laser assy may be worn out. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And no, it WON'T detect a game if it can't spin the disk. Don't offer advice unless you ACTUALLY know something about the subject. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I had to guess, I'd say make sure the wires to the spindle motor are connected at both ends. Possible there's a bad solder joint, or a loose ribbon cable.

Clint Thompson #8 Posted August 7, 2005 Make sure the part where the lid closes is making contact (so it can recognize the fact that you've actually closed the CD lid / door) that's my only idea / suggestion. Good luck.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
