as soon as i turn on my sega dreamcast it goes to the menu screen(clock music controller etc) and i click on the controller and it says please insert disk.
Your spindle motor has gone, this is not impossible to solder another one in, and should be considered as these Sega consoles are getting rare over time. You will notice that it will attempt to read the disc but will just stop after 3 seconds, failing that open the machine and put a bit of tape at the back of the GD drive where a little lever is to keep it down as the lid maybe out of alignment.

The best way and place for the dreamcast...... 1. A straight plain wood or metal table (I use wood). 2. Put it in a way so that the Drive faces the roof. 3. Make sure that the air holes are NOT closed at least 5 cm away from another solid. 4. Everyday, open your dreamcast disk led (The place where you put the game) and clear the dust if there is. 5. Also clean the out of the dreamcast shell from dust and so, but never put water, because it might slip to the inside of your dreamcast. 6. Every week, open your dreamcast and clear the dust from it, if there is, 7. Dont make your dreamcast lens face the sunlight, that'll damage it. 8. Try to download games and put them on a CD-R to save your original dreamcast games. 9. Try not to mod your dreamcast, use boot disks to play imports, it's alot safer. 10. every day take out your vmu and clean the vmu slot from dust or whatever. 11. Do do all of that, YOU NEED TO GIVE YOUR DREAMCAST LOVE AND CARE

I've had the dreamcast for quite a few years now, It worked excellent when I had purchased it and some years after, but now after having an Xbox plugged into the tv I tried playing the dreamcast (unplugged everything related to the Xbox), it goes to the set date/time screen, I try and set it but it won't let me. Any help?
