The Sega CD Model 1 has a classic 90's aesthetic and can play plenty of amazing games on CD. But nowadays, these consoles are very fragile and can have all sorts of problems, including damaged CD drives. On this week's Fix It Friday, we will use StarlightK7's new OpenKSK board to resurrect a dead Sega CD disc drive and make it better than ever!
