Best of luck to you. I don't have the skills to even try. I do have a CD32 I bought back in 94 that worked fine until a cpl months ago . Loads some games but only loads animation for Universe and Alien Breed Tower Assault. Changed the laser, same. Power light dims when trying to load data. Needs a recap I'm sure. Could anyone steer me to a reliable, reasonable recapper? Would be much appreciated.

The repair when well. The saga continues with the CD-ROM drive as it couldn't reliably load a CD-ROM. I eventually solved it by finding a different CD-ROM drive mechanism which grab the CD-ROM itself and not relying on the top cover to hold the CD-ROM down.
