    Default Sega CDX : the Genesis part is dead

    Currently testing a CDX

    the CD part is working (with a Audio CD or even a Sega CD game, it boots)

    However, when i tried a cartridge (got blank screen) or when the Sega CD game try to access what he needs from the Genesis hardware, i have a "disc error"

    Smell dead for me....

    any chance this *could* be fixable ?

    IMO, The Genesis part isnt dead as the Sega CD games run with Genesis hardware. It's most likely a problem with the cartridge to motherboard connection. It may just be a bum cartridge slot which I think is replaceable.

    yeah if its giving a disc error, then it can't tell there's a genesis game inserted, otherwise it wouldn't bother talking about a disc at all.

    What do you mean by the following:
    ... when the Sega CD game try to access what he needs from the Genesis hardware, i have a "disc error"
    So what works on the Sega CD? just audio CDs? Can you use the Sega CD internal cd player or are you just using the CDX as a cd player?

    I think it just needs a new laser a good load of cart solt cleaning and to tip the console off a new backup ram battery.
    Its hard to tell with out haveing a look at the system.
    I am sure its fixable. to 100%
    When i repair this system so far i have had 100% sucess rate of repairs.
    So far.
