Sega no longer repairing Dreamcast units

Dreamcast is a cheap enough console, I saw one go for £6 on ebay back in December...

...who cares if Sega have stopped repairing them, the Dreamcast is most probably something Sega don't want anything more to do with

Less working Dreamcasts is bad. If production on all NES 9 pin replacements stopped, then when a NES needs to be repaired it couldn't be fixed. The same could be used in this situation, especially since production on Dreamcast consoles ended years ago.

Won't bring dead dreamcasts back to life. Probably the best we could hope for is that some time in the not to distant future we see some of that lovely Dreamcast-on-a-Chip technology hacked together in HK.

Either that or for tectoy to pick up the Dreamcast for production in brazil.

If you are talking about the internal memory, you need to change the battery
