[SSFD] Sega CD Model 1 Repair | In-Depth | (Part 1)

Trying my hand at a difficult repair job. Note, my rubber band hack did not work, but if you search for the part it is actually readily available.
Also, make sure to remove the plastic for the tray detect before messing with the tray!

Hopefully this isn't information I'll need personally, but thanks for expending the effort to post it! I have a Model 1 Sega CD and I'm waiting on the welcome e-mail to get registered to post on the Sega-16 forums about it. When the (Model 1) Genesis is powered on, I see the "earth and moon" BIOS screen, but there's no animation or sound, and both the Ready and Access lights remain dark.

When my CD slot is fully retracted (so that the laser is completely level), it jams, but if I disassemble it, manually turn it to slightly before that point, and fire it up, I can get it to eject properly one time. Which switch or clip etc is causing this jam, one in the laser portion? And how do I fix it please! Lol
