DC doesnt recognize open door???
Ok I just bought a used dreamcast but there is one problem. The previous owner must have removed the device to tell it when the door is open because when the open button is pushed the disc continues to spin. This creates a huge problem as it is an Asian model and I need a boot disc to play US games. Any help is grateful, thanks.

Well first off never post the same topic in more than one forum. I'm not a mod so all I can do is inform you but when a mod sees this they will delete one and warn you...unless you've done this before.
In either case here's how you check, if you unscrew the 4 screws on the bottom and remove the top part of the shell you will be able to determine the problem. At the top of the system (controller ports facing you) to the right of the laser assembly is a black button, that is the lid control. If it is taped down remove it, and check for a mod chip...if I'm not mistaken the first generation of modchips required this additional modification to play burnt games and imports. Now in the event that the button is broken then I'm afraid you got burned...you can replace the part but it'd probably be cheaper to get another DC.
