The-Ice-Man Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Is it just burnt disks that it does it with or originals too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Ice-Man Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 What happens exactly? I had a dreamcast that worked fine for ages, then one day it started to stop working. It would sometimes play a disc for a minute or two, and then just cut out, as if the signal to the TV had gone or something. Sometimes it would cut out straight after the dreamcast logo movie, and sometimes it'd not even get that far. I had to get a new dreamcast in the end, but it was years later till I bothered coz I had an xbox by then and didn't play my dreamcast much. Last year though I missed my old dreamcast games so I bought a replacement off ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Ice-Man Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Some dreamcasts seem to break after a while. I wish they'd make new ones. Coz if you replace it you're only replacing it with second hand, which could break the same way after a while. If you know anyone that could repair it get them to have a look, otherwise go look on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibathedog Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Try this stuff here, I've fixed many by pushing those pins (If you really want to make sure it never breaks again you could drop some solder in there, but you have to be real careful it doesn't connect with any next to it or it will explode) http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/console/sega/dc-reset.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
