Panasonic FZ-1 Unit won't play games.. Pops them out
For some reason, my trusty old Panasonic FZ-1 Unit won't play games anymore. As soon as I load them, the unit spits it out within a minute. Any ideas on how to fix?

This topic has been discussed before, so if you look through some of the posts in the Technical Support section it should give you some ideas.comptalk wrote:For some reason, my trusty old Panasonic FZ-1 Unit won't play games anymore.

Hi comptalk,
as here is not much life in the forum I just want to let you know I have not a solution but the same problem
Today I got an old Goldstar (PAL, complete in grey) - it looks nice and the CD tray opens and closes fine and smooth - but after laying in a CD - the screen changes to the 3DO sign appears, some seconds (maybe 5 or so) nothing happens and then the CD tray opens automaticly to give me the cd back...
Well, so I didn´t opend the 3DO yet but if I find a solution I will let you know...
Cheers

ok - ok - ribbon cable... huh??? hah???
And now? some posts here? I must go and google...
But meanwhile I opend the 3DO - so if I open and close without CD the lence and laser makes some minor movements - if I put a CD in it starts spinning for two or three times but always stops again just after starting. After three times the CD is thrown out...
Hard to fix?

Well just didn´t find a solution... I striped the complete unit - the ribbon cable seems to be o.k. (as I can see) I just pulled it out and fixed it again - without any changes.
I now saw, that the battery is leaking... you can just see it if you look form down upways - luckily it doesent looks like there is any damage on the board... (well I know some Amiga accumulators... hell!) So as I just right don´t know what function the battery has - could it be it is the reason for the problem? I definately have to change it!
Otherways I just have no idea...

Goldstars & Sanyos 99 % ribbon cable issues 1 % laser , especially if burnt discs repeatedly used - this has all been addressed in previous posts.
