TGCD won't spin discs!

[McThundergoose]

I got one with a working Turbografx about 3 years ago. It registers when the door is open and closed, but when attempting to run a game it just sits there. The disc won't spin, laser assembly doesn't move, and it doesn't appear to be lighting up even. The unit is in wonderful condition however.

Is there an easy fix, or am I better off looking for a person to repair it for me?

It could be many things... Bad laser, bad gear, rails need grease.  I'd say start by cleaning old grease off and apply lithium grease to the rails. then check to see if gears are still whole and freely turn. most are brittle by now. If it is bad look up Keith Courage for a new gear. If its good push the laser to outermost location and see if it comes back to center when powered on. it should then try and focus at center.
