  • The SEGA CD Model 2 is an attachment I have wanted to get for a while now for my collection and today we're going to attempt to fix one from Ebay. The listing claims it's broken and does not power on, so lets see if we can fix it.

    Brings back so many memories. Some friends got this model for Christmas. I was excited for them, but I was also jealous. About a year later I landed an under the table job at 13 years old. My first major purchase was a used Sega CD Model 1. The first game I purchased was Sonic CD. It blew my mind with the opening sequence, and the futuristic dystopian feeling the levels gave. How they implemented the time travel was cool too. While many of the games were blatant full motion video trash there were many hidden gems to discover. Super Nintendo was the king of that era, but Sega earned their place in the history of gaming.

  • @RobertNES816

    The lasers always work in the model 2 consoles. The issue is the spindle slides down on the shaft and causes the laser to go out of focus or the disc will actually hit the housing and make horrible noises. The model 1 it's usually just the belt that causes the laser to not read a disc because the draw mechanism can't bring the laser head up to the disc to read it properly. Also the capacitors in the model 1 systems and a huge issue. But thankfully they're easy to replace.

    Recently purchased a JVC X-EYE console. It powers on and genesis side works fine but the disc side doesn't spin. Only shudders slightly when turned on. Would you be interested in doing a teardown/ repair for your podcast?

    Have a gen 1. Took a few minutes to get working after not being used for many years. Seemed like it needed to warm up or something. Managed to play Lunar on it.

    bought a sega cd a couple months ago which unfortunately also had a dead fuse. Mine was the more common board that had the fuse on the bottom rather than a through hole like yours, luckily I was able to replace it and got power again on it. Then I had another issue with the limit switch, unfortunately it was bent backwards so the laser would never know when it was in the center. Fortunately I was able to fix this by stuffing a heat shrinking tube behind it which keeps it in place. with all that work I was finally able to get it working normally, If you ever plan on getting a sega cd make sure you at least have some basic soldering experience. These guys are fragile units.

      You can find them anywhere, what you’re looking for depends on what you’re looking to repair. If it’s through hole like this board, then you’re looking at something in the 25-90w range. Many repairers recommend a station, I’ve found a standard plug in iron and stand has done me well. (Been a service tech) You want a 1-3mm tip, conical is ok, but a flat angled one wll give you better contact. The bent tip ones are also useful. Anything bigger just makes it hard to access. And too some of the small ones 1mm end can be a bit fine for the bigger jobs. Pays to have a range of tips, 2-3 they don’t cost a lot. Solder sucker, solder wick, .7mm solder with rosen flux core. A stand for it so you don’t burn stuff. And tip cleaner, the steel wool ones are good, so are the wet sponge. If you’re getting into surface mount stuff then you’ll need decent flux as well. Out of China you’re looking at about $40-50USD as a basic starting point. The power of the iron will dictater what you can do with it, lower powered is find for most situations, if you have to get a heat sink off, then it can be a bit of a hassle.

    I bought a clean N64 from Ebay and it would give me a black screen about half the time I would turn it on. Turns out the jumper pack was going bad I got a replacement and it now works great.

    My Genesis looks different than yours has the controller ports off to the far right and has a red part of the top by the power light and looks longer. Will this also work with that kind of Sega CD?

    Hey. Not cd related but I know you deal with segad- bought a model 2 and PO said it works just needs to insert game a few times-- tried just got a black flickering screen so I cleaned the games and took the console down and cleaned with alcohol,tooth brush and swabs , now I get a “picture” that -instead of words it’s just color blocks where the works would be and no sound still. I didn’t see any board issues or anything…any tips
    To look at?
