I've been messing around with the DC again this week and have a question about its noises.

I have 2, one was heavily used in the days of Utopia, particularly swapping to NTSCJ discs. This one doesnt want to run backup games about 45%, unreal refuses to start in it. I probably fucked it up with all the swapping. Is this fixable? It loads stuff like SA1 and Virtual On fine every time.

The 2nd one has barely been used, it's from 99, and was put in a closet before the DC's lifespan was even over. This boots games 100% of the time, but the noise it makes it just...weird. no damage other than some yellowing and it had virtually no dust in it, i blew it away anyway.

I know this is a noisy console, but instead of the normal horrid grind, it makes this sort of "wet" sounding noise. The system runs cool and smoothly otherwise, I'm just wondering if it's fucked up somehow? Has anyone else had this happen? I miss the screech.

Both of these are laser issues.

Are either of them fixable?

You have to replace the laser assembly. No clue why if the one you had was just sitting in a closet since 99, must have gotten shaken up or messed with in that time period.

Its doing the normal grind again but that little noise afterward is what is different to me, it does it when the games are loading anything major. I just broke my AV chord, I ordered a new one to come tomorrow so I can navigate through Powerstone and record what it sounds like when its really trying.
