buying a new cdi!

Anything relating to CD-i can be discussed in this forum. From the multiple hardware iterations of the system to the sofware including games, reference, music and Video CDs. Maybe you hold an interest in Philips Media and the many development houses set up to cater for CD-i if so then this is the forum.

unfortunately, the probability that you buy another dying cd-i is high. You can try but personally I think that such device is too old.

Sometimes you can pick up brand new units for ok prices.

I've picked up the 380i for £60 delivered (Brand new) and a 470 £85 brand new

Whats wrong with the console? Can you not fix it?

You could try opening the system and cleaning the lens with white spirit or similar..

Maybe there is a straight forward guide to follow?

Nothing to loose if it's broken already :)
