CD32 Reading errors.

Charlie · 28 October 2007, 22:12

I'm pleased to say I have a CD32 connected to a projector via S-Video.
( Why didn't C= put one of those in the A1200? Never mind, Zetr0 to the rescue.

)

My 3 1/2 year old daughter is fast becoming a serious miggy fan.

Recently been having disc reading problems.
Cleaned the lens.
Followed this useful site:
http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/Pa...dex/index.html

The scenario:
1 ) Fiddle with CD32, now working perfectly.
2 ) Put back together & call small pest to play.
3 ) Stick CD in: No go.
4 ) 'Waaa, Brian the Lion isn't woooorkiiing.'
5 ) Back to 1 )

Any ideas..?
Indoctrination of future generations of Amiga fans may depend on you!

Someone round here recently found a new compatible lens/laser? assembly that worked in the CD32, if all else fails maybe worth a shot as a last resort?

EDIT : Here ya go ;

@DrF:
Thanks - I remember reading that thread but couldn't remember where.
Should have guessed it was the EAB.
