Sega Saturn Model 2 Drive Door Help
Sega Saturn Model 2 Drive Door Help
I have a Saturn Model 2 with a messed up drive door. When I press the open button on the console, its drive door won't go up; instead, I have to manually pull it up to put a game in, only for the door to then go down on its own (by gravity). I opened the Saturn up and inside the pin/spring that holds the disc door has been knocked out. Problem is, I can't get it back in? Is there a guide or any pictures online? I searched and all I could find was help for a model 1 Saturn, not a model 2. So any help here would be really helpful! Thanks.

That's the release mechanism, but if you're having to manually lift it, I assume the issue is that the spring by the back hinge is broken or not in the right place.

Re: Sega Saturn Model 2 Drive Door Help
YES!!! Thank you both so much, especially Token for providing these pictures! I spent ages trying to put back in the lock mechanism, as it's called, but couldn't. Looking at your pictures, however, it took me about 30 seconds! I feel stupid that I couldn't do it before, but thanks for the help with the pictures, as I'm sure they will also help other clueless people like me who are having the same problem! Cheers!

I figured that's what it was, but I was too lazy to pull out a Saturn and open it up.
