Nope. All of the screws are visible and easy to get to.

OK, I opened my saturn and looked at the door. The side with the dampener seemed very loose. I took off the plastic piece with two screws that keeps the door from completely coming off. I noticed a hole in the actual door piece (The greasy part, and I know this is vague but this is difficult to explain so bare with me) It looked like a small plastic pin should be holding the door to the inside of the system, and I could see where it appeared a piece had broken off. Is there supposed to be a plastic pin holding the removable piece to the actual door? If there is, does anyone know a way I could fix this?
Thanks

I'll have a look later tonight or this weekend to be sure. Is yours a model 1 or 2?

may i ask why you didnt get a regular modchip to play backups instead of having to swap and then use an action replay to play different region games its a much better way of doing things

I want to but I cannot afford to buy one right now. I have it region-modded though so I don't need an action replay (and I don't really want one all that muh anyway). I'm more interested in playing imports than playing backups although once I have the money, I will be buying a modchip for my Saturn. It's a bit trickier though since I have to modify the mod chip, seeing as how I have a model 1 Saturn.
