Hi guys,
My long-suffering Saturn is giving me grief in the form of a black screen when trying to load any game.
Spec rundown: PAL model 2, unmodded, I am trying legit PAL games
Solutions tried already:
1. Reseating the ribbon cable at both ends that runs from laser assembly to main board
2. Adjusting the laser pot all the way clockwise. Laser moves freely, disc spins. When the pot is fully clockwise, the laser tries REALLY hard to read the disc, then eventually seems to give up, and the disc stops spinning.
3. Removing and replacing the memory battery. After I put the battery back in, I get the date/clock reset screeen, but as soon as I do that, it goes to a black sreen with no sound.

I have returned the laser pot to its original position. It's worth noting I cannot visibly see a laser, even in a dark room.

Any thoughts guys? I am out of ideas!

Thanks!
