Hello. I got a Turbografx 16 with cd attachment yesterday. The Turbografx works fine, but the cd does not. When I first tried it, the led was on but the cd wouldn't spin. I pulled off just the cd part to see if it would spin when I pressed the play button, but it didn't. I tapped it a few times and managed to get it working. I played my games in peace. When I wanted to play again later, I had to do the same thing. So I ended up disassembling it, and the #8 wire that was soldered to the base broke off. I soldered it back on but it didn't fix my problem. Also, when I had it apart, I lost track of how the wider ribbon (12 pin I think) plugs into the mainboard. So first of all, do the metal contacts face toward the edge of the board or toward the center? Second, what else could I check that might be causing it? I haven't gotten it to work since last night by the way. Finally, might I be able to take it to an electronics place and have it fixed for less than about $50? Thanks for any answers.
