cd-i 450 disc reading problems
Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 2:08 pm
Sadly, this is not the best way to introduce myself to this cd-i community, but I really need your help.
I bought my cd-i 450 over 6 months ago and it worked perfectly. Because of summer holiday, my cd-i was not used for 8 weeks. Today I decided to power it up again, but I quickly ran into problems.
When I start up the game, it works alright but it quickly freezes (sometimes the sound first stops) and I get a 'your disc might be dirty' message. I cleaned the disc and put it back again, but I keep getting the same message. I also tried to clean up the cd-i itself carefully, because I suspect that the lens is dirty. Still, all games I have keep freezing after a short period of time and I keep getting the 'your disc might be dirty' message.
Is this just too much dust in the system (the discs are clean and worked perfectly 8 weeks ago) or is my cd-i broken? And can you clean the system without damaging the lens? I checked the lens with a magnifier glass and it looked fine.
Thanks for helping
