Laseractive Laser Problem

Post by jamesy »

Hi guys, I've been looking online for people who've encountered problems with the laseractive system before. I've managed to find a few guides about fixing them so I went ahead and opened up the system to see what was going on with it.

Basically whenever I try to play a mega CD game with it the laser freaks out and won't read the game. Sometimes an LD movie will work but not often. Even if I try playing a cartridge the laser still clicks and causes the picture to jump which seems odd.

Here's a video I took of what's happening inside the machine. (terrible clicking noise of laser assembly so if you're watching it I would turn your volume down) The laser just seems to be bouncing up and down like crazy. It does this whether there is any kind of disc in the drive or not. Does anyone know if this is likely due to the laser itself being worn out or if there would be another issue causing it? Thanks!
