    First off, thank you for all the infoin this thread. I am the new owner of a Laseractive player, the player however will not spin discs. I have removed the lid and watched the laser. The tray moves into the correct position, the laser moves on the track just fine and the laser lights up but the disc wont spin. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Default Pionner LaserActive A100 w/ Pack Mega Drive

    Hi, guys, I have a Pioneer LaserActive with Pack MegaDrive.
    It works perfectly with the megadrive Pack but he did not preduz discs.
    I opened it and noticed that it does not spin the discs. Apparently everything else works normally (gears, optical drive ...) but does not spin discs.
    What think you can be? Please I need help.

    I picked up a regular pioneer LD player that did the same thing. all it needed was a good cleaning on the inside and then it was fine.
    I think it was the one I used 99% isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip and then swabbed the lens with it. I figured it was already broken, it was a last ditch effort after I found everything else was ok.

    it basically would spin the disc because it couldn't see that any thing was in the drive

    just use smd/smt replacements a bit harder to get saves a lot of hassle.

    The Laser Disc player play the Video and the sound, but, I cannot see enemies to shot !
    Sometime I have a cross on the screen that i can move and send bullet with, but enemies were all come in 1 wave at the very begining of the game... after that, no more enemeis to shoot...

    It like the Megadrive is not synchonous with the LD game, or something like this...

    Is there someone who had the same problem ?
    Do you have clue of what I can do to repair ?

    Thanks
    Sprite problems likely on the PAC side. If you've got video and sound you Laseractive works fine short of the Sega PAC. Might need to check the recapping job and make sure there are no damaged traces anywhere. I want to say damage to the VDP can do this but I'd have to do some checking. Problem is you'd have to swap the entire IC and that requires some fancy tool work.
    I fix things. You name it, I'll work on it. Want something modded? Recapped?
