Re: [DCBG] Dreamcast resetting...

That should solve it. I had a Dreamcast that did
EXACTLY the same, i just dont think you are cleaning
the Pins enough. Give them a really good clean,
bending them back isnt enough and you should only bend
them back "Slightly" anyway. If you look at the Pins
you'll probably see a load of Black deposits, thats
what causes the Reset. Just give them a really good
clean and that should sort it, it fixed mine for good
until the spindle snapped :(
