CD32 drive not spinning
« on: May 03, 2008, 10:05:49 PM »
I took my CD32 out of the box, powers up, get the CD32 screen but when I insert a cd, close the cover, the drive does not spin.  I took it apart and it has I guess a LED type sensor that checks to see if the lid is down (a piece of plastic breaks the signal).  

Is there a fix or a test so I can see if its the LED light/sensor or the drive?

no I dont hear any clicking.  pressing harder doesnt work for me.  Either the cd drive is bad or the sensor is.
