today i was playing my "newly" bought copy of gundam side story and the the dreamcast just stops and doesnt attempt to read the cd or any other cd. do any of you know the problem? PLease help me you smart ppl! :cry:
i take alocal (cant spell LOL, its that stuff u put on cuts or w/e thats in a clear bottle) put it on a paper towel, an lighly brush it on the lense, works 4 me
A friend of mine once had the same problem after headbutting his DC after losing at Vtennis. He had to buy a new DC coz the price of a new lens/ laser assembly was too expensive at the time!
my dreamcast is fixed.no money was used to make it worked. i used a very ancient repair technique used on peices of equipment. do you knows what that technique is?
the smart way to fix it is to buy a new dc trade the guts with yours return the new dc and get your money back brand new dc for free but dont do it its wrong
alcohol? im not sure that its a good idea on a lens...on metal connectors used in cartridges, sure, and maybe the insides, but the lens isnt waterproof and if you get any alcohol (i know it evaporates) inside, or any resin is left from dust being wet, it would get worse..
lens cleaner discs just have small brushes on and thats it
