"Anyone with a Dreamcast - Help!"

Does anyone else have a problem with their dreamcast where it clicks and restarts unexpectedly right in the middle of games? It is really annoying, and any help in solving the problem would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'd give SEGA a ring. If you can't find the number, there should be one at www.sega-europe.com

I've not had that problem myself, though my Dreacmast is still quite new.

Yeah, it only started happening to me after about a year.

Ta anyway Edgy!

I had the same problem when I tryed to play Fighting Force 2. Probably a blessing actually, the game stank worse than Moe Mowlams incontinance pants.

It just does it with certain games and it's a niggle that youve jus got to live with i'm afraid :( it's done it to me on a few games, but the only ressetting i experience with my DC is when i'm playing online with pso grrr! dam those annoying hackers,... neway :)

slik ~_~

I can't say this has ever happened with my DC - it's been working perfectly from launch day.

yeah ive heard of this problem b4, to fix it you have to open the dreamcast up and clean some bits inside with WD40.

That's the bad thing about the Dreamcast, it flopppppppped!

I'm so two faced, I was playing it again last week. :>

Only thing I can think of is DC sites, read FAQ's; or as someone said phone their Help-Line.

RM, even if it's more than a year old, Sega will most likely still either replace it (seeing as it's a commonish fault) or ask for a small fee to repair it. There are also some independent places that do repairs.

If the worst comes to the wors, just buy a new one!

Same thing happened to me 6 months ago. Still havn't fixed it.
