Hello Everyone, this is my first post here despite being registered for quite some time.
Anyway... I recently bought the SEGA DC console... because i still remember how much fun i had playing Rival shools 2 and Shenmue and lots of great games on it a couple of years back.
And... it's kind of a dissapointment to see that it's not working.
Anyway... here's the problem.
Everytime the disc starts spinning, the DC will shutdown and will not respond for 1-2 minutes (no reset, no power up... nothing...) if i try turning it on with a Disc inside... it shuts down immidiately.
As for booting up without a disc... it boots up pretty normally... i can even check the VMU and the rotor spins nicely.
As soon as it gets any weight resistance (like a CD on it) it just shuts down though...
What could be the issue? should i drag my DC to a service for repairs? or is it something i can do at home? (I have some experience with dismantling consoles... mainly PS2, PSP, PSX and PS3)
Thanks for any feedback!
