I help in a charity shop and someone recently donated a Sega Saturn (UK)
I took it home to test and it had worked perfectly, read every game-cd and audio-cd, etc.
However whilst using it 2 hours ago. I changed over a disk and suddenly it's stopped reading them/struggling to read every disk...
There's been no power surges or massive bangs.. it seems to have just suddenly given up. All the cds are clean/no scratches and I cleaned the laser. There were now and then clicking noises.. So I opened it up and the gears all seem to move freely..
do I have to admit defeat or could there be another easy solution to save it from the recycle yard/split up for spares..?
