Model 2 Sega CD stopped reading disks.

Decided to replay Snatcher today and I pop the game in..Sega Cd boots up, Checks disk then it just goes to the cd player menu and the red light on the Sega Cd just keeps blinking. I have used this unit for 9 years with zero problems. Any idea what I need to do?

I have two other sega cd units that I have found over the years, but niether will even power up. Any advice on these as well? Might as well try to fix all three units at once.

For the ones that will not power up, check the fuse.

The main fuse? any pics or links to Sega CD repair? Any help would be awesome.

The factory fuse is green near the top left of the board. A quick google should find a guide with pictures. Just actually replace it with a fuse, don't just solder in a wire. You can wire up a holder or a connect a different shape fuse, just make sure the rating (1.5 Amp I think) matches and that it is a fast blow type if it's a glass one.
