Sega CD Model 2 not powering on?

[Mephikun]

So, I got a Genesis (mk1) + Sega CD (mk2) and a few games yesterday. I detached the Genesis from the Sega CD, cleaned them both up, hooked the (right one, I checked) DC adapter into the Sega CD, flipped the switch on my Genny... nothing. No light, no nothing. Plugged it into my Genny. I put in my Animianiacs cart, it booted right up.

I'm not sure what to do

Any help is appreciated,
Mephikun

Just curious, did you test it before you took it all apart?

[Mephikun]

Nope. I didn't take the stuff apart either, I just slid the genny out.

You are using 2 packs when using both, right? If so, the fuse in the SCD could be popped and need replacement.

[Mephikun]

Mmm... I only have 1 power cable.

That cannot work. Both the Sega CD and Genesis must receive adequate power.

[Mephikun]

...oh. sorry for being a noob, this is my first genesis and first SCD.

Thanks everyone haha, I'll buy another power cable.

if u get another power adaptor and it still won't work, a blown pico fuse is usually the cause.
