Part two of my attempted repair of a Sega Saturn. Following on from the last video, it became evident that this machine has a problem with the CD drive.

Hi, did you ever get this to work? Tried replacing the laser didn't work and when testing the motor with a AA or triple A neither worked. Is this likely to be a faulty motor or the chip you mention in the video its an ntsc-j model 1. Fantastic video as well thanks.
My diskman not speaning but eye moves and try to read
Does anyone know where I can get the motor actuator driver that is mentioned. The number of my one is different it is a Mitsubishi M56754SP. I tried finding this chip for sale but no luck so far. Is there an equivalent?
Hats off to you, I would have never known that the chip was shot. I had the same exact problem that you listed. Cheers, mate!
Wait was it the power supply or the chip?
Anyone know where he ordered the chip from?
One of my model 2 drives is all busted up. The plastic bits holding in the drive rail are broken to bits and the disc hub is missing one of the spring-loaded disc-clamping balls.
Hello, can you recommend any stores in the UK that can repair Saturns, just turned mine on and there is a horrible grinding sound coming from the drive, it's just happened out of the blue as I got a new retrobit wireless controller last week and it was working fine when I tried it out, have no idea what happened.
Friend Can I calibrate the Sega CD with a Chinese oscilloscope?

Thanks for the video. I needed to test the two motors in a Sega CD, and it took me a day and half to come across this video where you are having the same issue. I possibly could have something wrong with the motor controller chip…but I'll try a new laser first.
Thank you very much for your videos! I don't miss an episode as your real world practical knowledge is very easy to follow along with.
I am in the process of fixing a Saturn Model 1 that I also got cheap. It seems to read CDs and play the audio, but the only Saturn game I have is Virtua Fighter 2 remix. It only sees the audio portion and it stumbles on track 5. It wasn't spinning the cd up at all until I took it apart and moved the gears for the lens and then it started sort of working.
I am thinking that the gears need to be cleaned and lubricated as it seems to bind up on certain parts of the disc. What do you recommend for lubricating these nylon/plastic gears? I've heard white lithium grease or silicon grease but there seems to be some debate on the effects on the plastic. Thanks!
Loads of insights, thank you. When the motor was tested using the battery, does the polarity matter? Would the voltage from the battery affect other components on the board? Ta.
Yes I got it running like new without meter I just watched the diodes you adjusted and was mimicking your video thank you again!
Thank you for helping me with my Sega Saturn laser and spindle problems!
What is if i dont desolder the static what would then happen?
Where do you get replacement laser units from?
