I decided to bring out the old turbografx and cd the other day and found the cd player would not spin discs. Reading through some of the old threads here I opened up the cd player and looked at the gears - all look to be in good order and rotated easily when manually manipulated. After that I tried the game again and it worked... for about 2 minutes. As soon as I went past the opening scene the disc sounded like it was skipping and froze up. The disc would not spin again the next 10 times when I tried to run the game again.
After tinkering around with the gears and laser position a bit more I tried an audio cd. It worked perfectly. Ran 4-5 tracks without issue. Turned off and switched back to the game and back to no spinning. Tried the audio cd again after and that didn't spin either. I have not been able to get a disc to run since.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
