And you’re lucky man. Knock on wood.
The Saturn had one of the worst laser assemblies ever used in a disc based console. They break commonly.
The rest of the Saturn is a reliable beast but the disc drive is usually a time bomb. It also doesn’t help that many Saturn discs were poorly mastered compared to the PS1. So they do have a habit of disc rotting prematurely.
It could be worse though. At least the Saturn’s laser assembly is a fairly standard model and easy to source. It’s also easy to replace. Not as brain dead simple as a PS1 but it’s not much more complicated.
Whereas every Sega CDX owner lives in fear that their laser assembly takes a dump one day. Because that is a JOB on the CDX. Lots of stuff easily break as you take them completely apart. And the laser assembly wasn’t industry standard. Usually end up having to source a CDX parts machine.
