I would recommend dismantling everything, cleaning it and putting it all back together. Make sure he power supply board is making good contact with the motherboard
Thanks for the reply, i did this over 3 times and everything seems fine, the reader moves normally and the laser turns on too, and the dreamcast bios also looks fine but the motor does'nt spin. Also i don't have a multimeter (as i think that would help).
It may be an issue with the 'lid open' toggle switch. I have had a dreamcast that did this to me in the past. Here is how to test it; remove the top cover of the dreamcast. Plug it back in and put a CD on top. Wait until you get to the Dreamcast menu. Pull the small black lever down at the back to make the Dreamcast think the lid is being shut. If it is working you should get a brief message on the screen and the disc starts to spin. If it does not; ensure the disc auto loading is not turned off and wiggle the switch until you see some movement. If it is found that the toggle switch is the issue, spray some contact cleaner in it and it will probably be fine.
