For anyone else needing help: you don’t need to remove the drive, I bought a new Panasonic and didn’t unscrew it and appled grease and it worked!

Thanks for this, having this problem, greased the rail but didn't know about the little screws to losen.

This happened to me twice, and the local retailer proclaimed that this is an irreparable issue and the only way is to get a new console. Yes, i was swindled with that back in the day. Twice. Yep, people can be garbage - what else is new. Funnily enough, my friend had a very old FZ-1, which never had this problem. He gave away his 3DO eventually...to me. And even decades later - that one still works to this day, without a hitch.

Eureka. It worked. Thanks so much!

Thanks for this amazing video. I will do some preventative CD-ROM checks on mine.

Amigo qual a escala que o leitor funciona você saberia informar

How would I do this on a goldstar? I can move the laser down easily but moving it up skips a bunch even after greasing it (and I don't see any screws to adjust like you did in the video, the assembly is a tad different)

Great video, but what if the disc doesn't spin even after using contact cleaner on the switch that detects track 0(or would deoxit be better?)? The head moves fine, but it clicks to track 0 many times before it stops and ends up doing nothing anyways. Trying to diagnose other potential issues.

do you have any video teaching how to regulate leisure

good morning friend, can you tell me what is the frequency of leisure time? I would like to regulate my optical unit

Do you know how long the grease last without the disc error? Would it be a decade or so

This seems to be a very common problem with these. freaking payed $99 for one in 2013, seller gave $25 back because it didn't work, but this fix did not work for me so far. I'm using like Spray can of white lithium grease (like WD-40 styled) lust because that's what was around and it doesn't seem to work. IDK if I should bother getting the paste version used here or what. I have like $45 worth of games that I haven't been able to use once in all this time it's just so aggravating.

I just traded one of these for a game gear and as some issue, im gonna try and let you know what was the result

What upscaler ?

I have 3do fz-10 with a weird issue, the gex game doesnt run at all, i already tried two copies of game and dont pass the 3do logo, sometimes it keeps trying forever sometimes it returns to bios screen, i did a test with 6 other games and all boot fine. Caps issue maybe?

My FZ10 does like a loud grinding noise but only when you start the console, rest of the time is fine what could be wrong?
