I belive the only thing that stops the ebay bought DC from playing CD-Rs is that sega fixed the loophole in its bios so people couldnt boot from Audio Cd's anymore but there are ways to specially burn cds to get it to boot, but it could just be that the lazer need calibrated.
Also I think that the DC that cannot read games anymore needs its lazer recalibrated unless there is visable damage to the GD-ROM if so then just swap the GD-ROM from the DC that isnt responsive.
I havent seen this unresponsiveness before, it probbally has something due to a blown resistor on the controller sub-board.
