I bought an X'Eye a week ago to replace my Sega CD Mk. II, which I couldn't use because my old Genesis II broke. It had been working fine other than the occasional pinswitch misalignment (I was quite glad to find that the pinswitch wasn't broken), and I was loving the purchase every time I booted it up.
I opened up my X'Eye today in order to clean it out (it was shipped using very messy foam chunks as packing, and they had gotten inside of it), as well as to pull the RF shielding out so I could more easily service the thing if I needed to in the future. I pulled the main board and the daughterboard out, as well as the CD drive and went at the case with some canned air. Upon placing it all back inside the casing, I booted up a copy Ecco the Dolphin to see if everything was working, and now the CD drive won't actually read the discs. The CD drive spins and the laser moves, but its like it isn't doing anything. I spent another hour checking the various cables and connections to make sure everything was working fine as well as cleaning the laser, and still nothing. I don't think the CD drive is bad, because it was working fine before. I know it isn't a pinswitch issue, because it just says "Checking the Disc." I've tried multiple music CDs and a few games, and none of them work.
Any suggestions as to what I can do? Did I just wreck this thing? Under other circumstances, I would probably appreciate the irony (I had remarked while taking it apart that its a good thing that the JVC shares so many parts with the Saturn), but as of now I just want my X'Eye working again.
