My 1st DC also died. It made a really high pitch sound then it smelt like smoke. The motor blew, after that it couldn't read CDs.
So got another one, but you can only vote once.

This was kinda crap though since my original Master System, Mega-Drive 2, 32x, and Mega-CD are all still alive and well today.
Sold my original Mega-Drive 1 & Saturn so can't speak for them.
