as of this afternoon I get this msg when I start up one of my dreamcasts. the disk spins, but I have the impression that it spins slower than it should. could the engine or lens have died? I know how to replace one, but I need to know what is broken first

thx

You could try adjusting the laser pot.

Instructions: http://www.geocities.com/dcentraltutor/tutorlaserlens.html

If you do this, make sure you mark the starting point and turn the pot VERY little. The tiniest turn should fix the issue if that's the problem.

Or often just cleaning the lens works for me.
