[Gaz_2_k]

Teen Programmers United??? nope....until now, i had never heard of em!

i think i've worked out what MAY be up.......the CD motor Might be dead.........it makesa horrid scraping noise if i try to spin the CD manualy...........i think it's beyond repair*........anyone got a spare one handy?!?

(this realy sucks....as i just got STHA and burning rangers to work with the swap trick...)

*tho i can be wrong......

The necessary mod for the swap trick...

About the cd-rom, try unplugging the flat cable, and reconnecting it again...

That noise isn't any good, anyways...

 

[Gaz_2_k]

take it back to the bloke that sold me it...get my £££ back...and look for another one!

but i will only use this choice.....if it cant be fixed any other way!

o.k...it's Thursday morning now....i tried to get it working again.........it spins again......But it

(A) Still makes the scraping noise....

and (

seems to think that wipeout is a 1 track game with 999.59 mins/sec's of playtime....in the audio controll bit.....

......so i'm just gonna get my money back....... i'll look on ebay or somewhere for another one!

THURSDAY PM...........I found a shop that may be able to fix it ! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
