jsarchibald, the thread in "Conquests" where you posted about getting your PowerCD got me started, and I begun looking for one in my area. And I found one that arrived today. It's in good cosmetic condition, and came with its power brick and remote.

And sadly it's exactly in the same state as yours, not "loading" disks. :-/

I tried to clean it using one of those special cleaning CD, to no avail. :'(

Actually the disc doesn't even spin, as if the motor was too weak. I can hear making series of tiny clicks, but that's all.

So, any ideas? It would be nice to have it work again!
