Hi, nice job. Please let me know If your console was starting up but don’t spin? I made the same job and láser unit replacement but doesn’t work 🥺

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Spins just fine

[@clarkspy61]

The leisure of the optical unit of my 3do is very weak, almost impossible to see. Is it still possible?

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

laser? weak as in movement or light power? if laser light power you can either swap it out, if movement, use the newer video i did on the greasing of the laser gears. makes it all sorted. its this one...kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXyYaGadqreWaas

I just brought a 3DO off e-bay. It powered up fine and loaded the sampler disk. However when I tried a copied disk, it loaded then crashed during play. Then the console would power up with the red light and 3DO image on the screen but not allow me to open the disc tray. Now it won’t power on at all and I’ve changed the plug fuse. Any suggestions or help?

Burn at slowest speeds

These fucking lasers are a nightmare of problem diagnose.

[@dennisbarcelo]

Mr. Chris I got an non-working FZ-10, it doesn't power On what do I need to do to fix this?

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Check the power supply rails first to make sure it even has power

[@dennisbarcelo]

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Thank you I just found out I need to replace the Fuse and already replaced 4 capacitors from the power supply Board. I just found out the spindle does not spin the disc but the lens works.

[@josebrinsenojr208]

I cant get the laser calibrated so no it wont even spin.
