      Thankyou :). Can’t really 🤔 remember this video now perhaps I should watch it. It would have been filmed on my kitchen table. Since then my equipment and also workshop has evolved. But thanks for the comment

    Have you tried it with a CDR game? The trim posts may need adjusting if they are not being read properly.

      Yep since replacing the psu with a original it now reads all discs. I did have to adjust a pot a little

      @@Retro4u Thats good and quite lucky. I did a few of these, up to now only one laser replacement but I may replace another. You're right about searching only for the part number. I was ripped off searching for CD32 laser. I just bought a spare for less than half the cost but searching for a part number instead.

      Yeah I’m really happy with it now. def go search for the model number all about saving money and saving consoles

      @@Retro4u Yes, I wish I did that previously. I went a bit crazy and bought 6 CD32s to restore. Professionally recapped them all, one was so bad after being recapped by someone else, I had the custom chips transplanted to a reCD32 pcb. I use the TF330 with CF card in it as my regular machine. Love these machines. I just assembled a reAmiga 1200 and doing the finishing touches. It was a big job but it works great.

      That’s next on my list a a1200 but have a 600 I need to do. I use the cd32 as it’s such a versatile machine. And nothing beats playing on original hardware

    Have less sunlight in the corner of the frame, and some light on the object the video is about

      Hi thanks for the feedback. When I did this video I was in the kitchen. I have since moved into a workshop with a tripod and better camera and some lighting . It is as early days and I’m still learning now. Thankyou
