   - The Expansion port may be dirty (as you've likely never used it.) Use a toothbrush / hard bristle brush or [[https://www.amazon.com/Dust-Free-Headphone-Electronic-Equipment-Compatible/dp/B08ZHMR853|flat cleaning swab]] with alcohol or DeoxIT to clean it and insert the plug of the ODE into the port several times, wiggle it a bit to help remove oxidation and dirt, and use the brush again. If during startup the 3DO logo blinks twice and there is a single green blink from the activity LED on the ODE the connection between the ODE and system is bad. The signals are not getting through.   - The Expansion port may be dirty (as you've likely never used it.)

   - Check the expansion port's connection to the main board. There could be cold solder joints. This has been noticed on some units. Particularly Goldstar. You would need to have the connector resoldered.   - Check the expansion port's connection to the main board. There could be cold solder joints. This has been noticed on some units.

-  - If those don't work, but the system does work with CDs, it is possible the power supply needs refurbishing or the system recapped. If you are using a USB adapter for a 2.5" SSD or HDD, and it doesn't have external power, you could be putting too much strain on the power supply. Try a thumbdrive or sdcard.+  - If those don't work, but the system does work with CDs, it is possible the power supply needs refurbishing or the system recapped.

If that doesn't work try a different storage device of the same type and then of a different type.
