Sega Saturn Disc Reader Replacement

Introdução

If your Sega Saturn fails to read discs properly, use this guide to replace the disc reader.

The disc reader transmits data from a disc to the Saturn itself. A misaligned or damaged disc reader will stop the disc from spinning or cause the Saturn to display a “Drive Empty” message.

Before using this guide, clean the disk reader lens with a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol, as a dirty optical drive may be the cause of a disc reading failure.

    • Flip the device over so it rests right side up.

    • Lift gently across the seam of the Sega Saturn. If parts get stuck, a light shake or prying with the iFixit opening tool should free it up. Do not use any brute force, as this can damage the case so it doesn't close again.

For the last step, it's quite a bit easier to remove (and put back) the top screw of the silver conductive strap from the top side of the CD drive instead of trying to remove the bottom screw, which is sorta tricky :)
