Model 2 won't read discs

[Deleted]

Hope someone out there can help!

I have a model 2 Saturn which all of a sudden won't play discs, cd's or games.

When you put the disc in it spins fine, the message comes up checking disc but after a few seconds the message disappears and you can't start the game.

The start application doesn't appear (it stays as CD+G channel) and the cd control buttons are greyed out. Also when it is doing this it won't let me access the systems settings button.

Any ideas?

The disc starting to spin is a good sign. I would disconnect and reconnect the cable between the CD board and motherboard.

The console can't read the disc. It's probably failing while checking the security, since during that part you are prevented from entering the system settings. You may need to adjust or clean the laser.
