Hey,
When i got my first sega genesis CD, the genesis worked fine but i could never get the cd drive to power on no matter what power adapter i used. I just assumed the drive was broken.
Now that i have my second one, Im sure i must be doing something wrong. I have tried two different genesis, numerous working power adapters, and the genesis might work fine but the sega CD never powers on.
(im using a model 2 genesis and a model 2 pop-top sega cd drive. Ive plugged both into workin power adapters and a video cable into the genesis.)
thanks for your help.
Am I hooking up my SEGA CDs wrong?
I know the biggest problem with Sega CDs is a blown fuse. Search on Google for "Sega CD fuse" and it will give you the information to search that idea out.

Re: Am I hooking up my SEGA CDs wrong?
orTake out Sega CD
Take Genesis
Look at right side of Genesis
Find and Remove the expansion area, a little pop-off thing made of black plastic
Remove the Red thing that says "Caution: Do Not Remove". I said Remove IT!
Set Genesis on the Sega CD
Slide Genny to the Right to plug the Genny into the Sega CD.

I also rent and sell PS2, Wii and XBOX softmod-kits and I collect DVD movies let me know what you have.
fixed it, turns out BOTH had blown fuses. The problem was these little green resistor-lookin things that apparently were dead. after testing them with a multimeter, i just wrapped some wire aqround the bass of them to bypass the fuse because i suck at soldering and would probably ruin the system if i tried to put a new on on.
