I bought a replacement Dreamcast because my first kept resetting itself, but then that developed the same fault. Turns out I was able to fix both - here's how I did it. WARNING: Open your Dreamcast at your own risk! All I used was:

A Phillips cross head screwdriver
Another screwdriver (optional) to leverage PSU board
Alcohol to clean the contacts
A cotton swab for the alcohol

I can confirm I've had the Dreamcast on for hours since doing this and it's still going strong. Looks like it worked - and I have Soul Calibur back again! :D
