Saturn Freezing on CD Access

[robheaton]

Hi,

I have a model 2 PAL Saturn (VA9)
When powering up the saturn with a CD in the drive, you just get a black screen. The Saturn doesn't appear to start up.

If I power up the console without a CD in the drive, the console boots to the main menu, if you then put a CD in the drive, you see a slight picture wobble as the CD spins up, then the console freezes.

Would the best place to start be a recap? I've visually inspected the caps, but there are no obvious faulty ones.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This turned out to be a problem with the power supply, I've fitted a ReSaturn PSU and I've had no issues since.
