Well I've now had 4 DC's and theyve all ended up giving me the same problem and I wonder if anyone else has experienced it.

I'd put a game in and it wouldnt load...UNTIL I put something heavy at the back of the lid, then the game would load, surely if I've had this problem with FOUR dc's then it must be a known problem???

Not heard of this one before, maybe it has something to do with the sensor that detects that the lid is shut not working properly.

That sounds like a good theory but the weight at the back actually OPENS the lid slightly, it also got to the point where I had to stick brown tape over the lid and actually pop it open for games to work!!!!

Have you tried turning it upside down and seeing if it works better that way? It sounds mental but I've heard a few people have had to resort to this to get the console to work.

I've only had that trouble with Jet Set Radio, something heavy, I might try that.

I've never heard of that problem.
Sure Dreamcast came out with a lot of problems.

The only problem I have ever had with DC is the power to the control ports dying, permianently (even though this was due to a rouge vibration pack, which I put into exp. socket 1).

I'll be sure to be on the lookout for this bug, though...
