super system card v3 problem

[SignOfZeta]

That sounds like a drive issue. Once the PCE boots from the (sometimes very picky) card it generally works fine. What does the drive seem to be doing?

The drive sounds like it's spinning at a constant speed.

I got a bunch of other games with the system and they all load fine using a version 2 card.

I think your laser is stuck. Chances are, the gear broke. But just in case it didn't I would take it apart and carefully try to un-stick it. If the teeth survive then clean out the old grease and re-lube it with lithium grease.

How can the gear be stuck if it works fine with other 'regular' cd games?

I got an extra pce super system card if you want it.

And card games work okay (both US/JP cards)?  Just trying to narrow it really down culprit to the system card 3, rather than the console itself.

US and Japanese card games all work fine. As does the system card 1 & 2 and all the cd games barring Choaniki and Bonk 3 in 1 which need the system card 3.

Incidently, does anyone know the if this PSU would be suitable:

I'm in the UK. Voltage, amps and polarity are all correct but I'm wondering about the jack size....
