Title: TurboGrafx CD won't spin discs
Post by: MadroxMonoxide777 on 11/17/2012, 02:55 PM
Hey.  I recently acquired a TurboGrafx 16 with the CD attachment, and the CD attachcment powers on, but it won't spin the discs.  I don't know if that is a problem with the laser or what.  It doesn't appear to even be attempting to spin the discs, which leads me to believe that the problem is electronic instead of mechanical.  I was wondering if anyone could help me or possibly fix it for me?  Please let me know.  Thanks.

The middle gear is either broken or stuck.

^^^^ What he said.  I had the same issue along with a hundred dozen of my colleagues.

or the laser is dead, but odds are on the gear

Ok, so are there people on this site that can fix that for me? (I'm new with this site, and I know nothing about how to repair systems).

Yep, Kieth and thesteve who replied are both excellent at this sort of thing.  There are a few others too like chop5 or bluebmw.  Although some may be full of work already.
