10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

After cleaning the pcb, symptoms remains.
Now machine won't read cd's at all.
Hucards are working.
Laser is on and and it moves to to track 2 position.

If i use original galaxy fraulein disc, laser moves little from starting position and starts to make hissing pulsating noise on every 0.5 seconds and say just a moment forever.
If i use burned backup, it tries to read and flashes power led 1-time & starts to trying again on endlessly loop.
I have one duo, which plays these both cd´s just fine.
Cd-player skip some tracks on music cd and i cannot select them (cause player skips these tracks).
This console did have same fault, before recapping and laser swapping.
Hu cards are working fine and i´ve tested power adapter with Ifu-30 case and it´s working nicely (9/12V 2A).
My friend brought this machine to me from japan and it was untampered.

Hello all.
I have some problems with my duo-r, that reads music discs fine, but games won´t load at all.
i´ve tried with several discs, which some are genuine and some backups.
I can´t see any problems on pcb with visible checking.
I have changed all caps just in case and it has new laser.
Adjusting pots doesn´t help at all.
I changed ic106 just in case, but the symptoms stays same.
Any ideas what to check?
