Hey i just got the cords for my sega cd that i bought in spring, it powers up and whatnot everything is gravy until you try and play something, the access light keeps blinking and it isnt readng the discs. any help?
The sega cd has naturally weak lazers so that's always a problem. Are you sure you are using the correct model power cord for your sega cd? My CDX for example has the bigest power cord ever even though it's the smallest version sega cd.
Try cleaning the lens with a qtip. If that does not solve your problem. try tweaking the pot a bit to see if the laser manages to spool data off the CD.
If still nothing, replace the lens assembly.

the power supply is fine, it boots up suprisingly and i just stare at the cd control screen wishing i could play it
I've only ever opened one console, that was my nes, are there any special precautions i would have to take with opening this?
oh i forgot to mention its the model one sega cd that looks like a vcr
heres a link for a replacement
