Sega Dreamcast Repair Vol 2: Disc Error Fix via Top/Lid Sensor
It's another repair video for the Sega Dreamcast. In this video I diagnose a disc read error because of the top/lid and the sensor that it's supposed to activate. There are several methods to address this issue so I went through a few of the less-invasive ones before having to resort to tearing the console apart to get to the door sensor. This is a long video so I'll include some time stamps so you can jump around in you need:

It took me a long time do conduct this repair and to do all the editing. I hope it helps you if you've run across a Sega Dreamcast that is giving you a disc read error. This is one method to correct that error. There's another way, but that's a video for another day. Enjoy!
