Sega MegaCD 2 - Laser swap times two and more!

[@broomhandle3700]

I recently ordered a broken Sega CD and I've been watching all the repair videos I can before it arrived. This has been one of the best ones I've seen, and I admire your dedication to ensuring the system got to a functional state. Thanks for sharing.

[@NaokisRC]

Thank you very much! I glad its been helpful 😊

[@KanyeWestLover12345]

Did you end up fixing it?

[@maxrichards5925]

This sega cd seemed beyond repair but you pushed forward and ended up making it read discs again. Truly a miracle

[@tracker2010plays1]

really appreate you making this i need to replace the laser on my own sega cd and this is a really great guide

[@tenavojkovic2245]

Really nicely edited and very helpful. The music is just a bit loud in some bits compared to the first repair video though, maybe turn it down a bit for the future. Still, good job and looking forward to part three!

Great detective work with the shipping solder blob, it probably would've taken me hours to work that one out. 🤣 Loving the editing and voiceover work in this one, your channel is coming along nicely! Loving the humour too. 👍

[@NaokisRC]

Thanks Rees! Hopefully theres less problems in P3 😅

You should use an oscilloscope to adjust the laser. In another video the guy has one adjusting using the test point (RF test point for RF level) to approx. 1 Volt peak to peak for pressed discs.

Enjoyable video. Probably nothing wrong with that first laser then, have you tested it again?

[@NaokisRC]

Thank you! I haven't no. But i no longer have the unit. My mega cd still works well and they're cheap enough i won't mind if it is dead

[@CRG]

@@NaokisRC was just curious. It's possible it was dodgy, I've had some mixed results with lasers out of China. Some work first time, others need a tweek and some you just can't working. In particular had that issue on a cdi, but then again on that console maybe it was for the best it didn't work haha.

[@branhicks]

What was the part number for the wrong laser assembly? That's the one I need...

[@NaokisRC]

KSS-210A if its correct?

[@fredericdasilva2558]

Hello, So definitely where was the problem?

[@NaokisRC]

Faulty laser. But recapping did not help.

[@iraqisonic9920]

Can you restore the Sega Master System?

[@NaokisRC]

I only have a model 2 master system and theres nothing to restore on it to be honest, sorry!

[@pukalo]

PAL Sonic sounds so slow lmao

[@NaokisRC]

Because it is lol. Sonic 2 and later were better as they compensated for the 50hz region difference

@@NaokisRC The PAL version of Super Mario Bros. attempts to do the same, but the developers overdid it and so PAL SMB actually runs and sounds faster than the NTSC version.
