Reusing Dreamcast modchip?

the last DC i had that did that (spins disc for a second then stops), all i did was swap the power supply. fixed it right up. sadly i don't think i have any extras of those i'm willing to part with.

i had a similar problem w. my dc

oddly .. disc would not spin up, logo would not come up, but i got the light and no beep .

i moved my dreamcast away from a wall (was blocking the fan's airflow) and it stopped doing that .

was strange because no matter what, seemed like it was broke . i took it apart, swapped psu's rechecked everything . removed my vga mod . (which is now forever broken and mar's my case stupid solder pads fell off !)

anyways, it was a simple matter of moving it for airflow .. although i don't know how the thing could overheat in the ~1 seconds it would stay on
