Re: GD-ROM
the spindle won't spin or it gives you error messages?
if its just the spindle not spinning, you might be able to open it up and make sure everythings plugged in nice and tight or maybe there's a short in a wire.

Re: GD-ROM
but it is that the disc just isn't spinning? I might have the spindle from an old disc read error drive somewhere, but its from the model where instead of the gd-rom drive plugging into the motherboard with one big cable it uses several different plugs.

Re: GD-ROM
I FIXED IT!!!!!
i got a spindle out of a old ps1 and wired it up then adjusted the lazer pot and it booted the disk just fine.
thanks for all the help!
