3D0 disk problem, need help.

[zachhargis]

I just got a 3DO off ebay. I looked in great shape until I plugged it in. The 3DO image briefly appeared then disappeared, also the drive would not open. I opened it up (with little effort at all) and the ribbons were out of the socket. I placed them and the drive worked. Thinking I fixed it, i put in a game and the laser gets into place, but the CD does not spin. Even if I have a CD in it goes to the blue screen and tells me to put in a CD.

Also, I am getting no sound. Is there suppose to be sound at the start up screen or on the screen saver? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What 3DO model is it?....

Hmm that sounds like a whole slew of problems! I'm guessing this is either the goldstar model or a panasonic fz-1? Just basing that on the fact that the cd tray was stuck and well theres no cd tray to slide out on the fz-10.

Indeed...The ones that I've seen the most with tray problems are definitely the GoldStars....Although, I remember doing a mod on mine years ago, that permanently fixed that issue...Can't really think of it atm...

Yea with those goldstar units if its not one thing its another.

Just to clarify though, at least on my FZ-10, there is no sound in the startup screens or screen saver.

it is the fz-1 model. I saw that the fan may cause this problem on doing some research but i opened it up and the fan seems to be working fine. I don't know what it is doing :\
