Genesis help!!!

Post by KholdStare »

Okay, so I was playing my Genesis and then the screen went dim for a second and the audio sounded weird too. So I tapped the A/V cables and then the screen went completely fuzzy! So do you think it could be the A/V cables or just the Genesis? And for the record it's a model 1.

Sounds like the cables to me, is there any noticeable damage to them?

Are you using an RF Adapter or actual AV (Yellow, Red, White) Cables?

No damage that I can see. I'm using the AV cables (Red,Yellow). I have a little tic about me that when I'm done I always unplug the cables and adapter.

Uhhh no. Just a shitty RF switch. I bought the AV cables like 4/5 months ago.

The cords shouldn't be giving out this early. But I do wrap em around the adapter when I'm finished. Could this be a problem?

Wait did you tap the cables where they connect to the back of the Genesis, or where they connect to the front/back of the TV?

That's what I was thinking but they should be able to last 4/5 months without fucking up!
