Discuss modifications you have done or plan to do to your Dreamcast or any other hardware, or discuss devices you want to build. If your console does not work or is acting up, ask about fixing it in here.

good place to buy replacement motor/laser unit?

Post by vegeta4ss »

I've got a spare system that does not spin discs anymore.

I looked online for a replacement motor/laser unit, or an individual motor but it seems that for dreamcast this part is a little harder to track down than it is with a ps2, gamecube, etc.

Where can you buy these things nowadays?

Probably nowhere it'd be affordable.

I'd say try one of those cd-rom replacement guides out there, but that'd exclude running original gd-rom discs. The other option would be installing a bios mod in conjunction with dreamshell, and sd adapter. Both of the above solutions are hardware based though.

Good luck.
