My DC isnt reading anymore =(

Discuss modifications you have done or plan to do to your Dreamcast or any other hardware, or discuss devices you want to build. If your console does not work or is acting up, ask about fixing it in here.

the most probably solution is that a cable got unplugged in your GD rom assbly. if you are comfortable doing so, open up your DC and look for unplugged or broken cables.

check these out:
This topic by theendisgone has a solution that seems to work for everyone who has tried it so far.
http://www.dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3907

This topic by MidnightObsidian explains how bad soldering could be the cause of your Dreamcast randomly resetting.
http://www.dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3548

In this topic by GMC, he finds a solution to the random resetting by adjusting the pins inside the dreamcast, it also has a portugese tutorial thanks to Mr Spoon for you portugese people out there.

In this topic Thedumbass explains how he blew the resistors on the control board of the dreamcast (effectively causing the Dreamcasts controllers to not work.) he also explains how he fixed this. If your controllers arent working anymore, you may want to have a read of this topic.

http://www.dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2890

This is another topic which contains a link to a tutorial which tells you what to do if your controller board has blown.
