Console's for repair/parts

Like sin2beta said most if the time the problem is a bad laser and it'd most likely it wouldn't be much more to buy a known working console and also a lot less risky.  Also there isn't a whole lot of user serviceable parts inside a Saturn. It's mostly integrated circuits and since none of them are socketed if one of them are bad than that's the end of that.

I've bought a broken Saturn once for it's motherboard because the one on my Saturn died but the laser was still good. So I deliberately looked for one that the seller said would turn on but not read disc's and transplanted the motherboard and that was a success.  :)

I do a lot of buying, fixing and reselling consoles.  If you're just looking to get a working system for yourself.  Nine out of ten times it's cheaper in the long run to just buy the functioning console.
