No video & No power to CD Drive?

Post by Liare »

Hi all,

My DC (VA1) has been working for years. Tonight I installed my GDemu shroud and fan adapter, went to power up and got nothing. No video? I got the controller port LED, controller beeped but nothing other than that. I installed my CD drive to see if it was the GDemu playing up and that didn't work either, doesn't spin, laser doesn't engage, nothing! I have a VA0 DC too so swapped my VA1 PSU to the VA0 and it worked fine so I knew it wasn't the PSU. Tried the GDemu on my VA0 and it worked fine so I knew that wasn't at fault. Cleaned the pins with IPA and some wire wool and still nothing...

Has it died?

Thanks
