A while ago I tried to mod a sanyo saturn. I think I must have killed the chip with statics following the wrong instructions and trying to make the chip fit. Then when I followed the real instructions and it didn't work I tried evrything and ended up knackering the saturn.
One trip to eBay later I ended up with... another! how many of these things are there? Anyway, I followed the right instructions and I get the control panel booting up. No funny grinding noises and the disk spins properly. I can play audio disks and the audio from saturn disks perfectly but there is no 'start application' merely the CD+G button. There are only two possible reasons as far as I can tell.
1. Dead chip. there is some funny stuff on the surface of the chip.
2. No power to the chip- I took a cable for car electronics and it is fat and ancient.(only thing I could find) its core may be broken.
P.S. anyone struggling to get the chip in place, try cutting a space in that thick metal covering the expansion bay as otherwise it gets in the way of the mod board.
P.P.S. how long does a fresh battery last for saves?
Any Help would be great.
PLEASE SAVE ME FROM EVIL SANYO SATURNS!!
