The Sega CD1 has a bunch of electrolytic capacitors that leak all over the internal circuit boards resulting in traces and vias no longer making electrical connections and render the drive in-operational. We've successfully restored dozens of these devices to working condition.
A comprehensive repair includes the following:
- remove all the old electrolytic capacitors
- clean / restore the capacitor landings
- fix any broken traces / vias
- electrolytic capacitors will be replaced by high quality Japanese brand (Nichicon, Panasonic, Rubycon, ...)
- replace the optical drive belt if required
- replace the 7805 voltage regulators, fuses and other components as required
- system cleanup and verification
