While I'm waiting for parts for my Neogeo CD frontloader I decided to open up a project Saturn I had bought a while back. I bought this Sega Saturn out of an "as is" pile at a trusted local store that I frequent. They hooked me up with a great deal and told me that when they bought it in it worked just fine but the disc drive stopped working.
I opened it up and found this inside.
The scotch tape just about killed me. Anyone familiar with this particular switch mod? I think the switch is working ok because the main Saturn screen noises are different but I'm not sure if this caused the drive to stop working.
The console boots and goes through the date and time settings no problem but it won't read any discs. The disc doesn't spin at all and I don't hear anything going on inside so it's not like the laser is trying to read anything.
Anything I should look into for fixing it? Thanks!
