I recently bought another one right here off of Racketboy Forums, under the condition that it had to be in absolutely perfect working order. When I got it, I plugged it in, and it was, unsurprisingly, broken. The power LED comes on, but there is no signal going to the TV; not even a blank black screen! I have tried different power adapters and RF cables, but none of them will show anything on the screen. For the record, this is the 5th Master System I have owned, and not a single one has worked.
Ok, you have to be doing something wrong. :P

What power bricks, RF cables, games, and TV are you using?
I have no idea what the problem is. None of my power adapters are 1st-party ones, so I think the problem might be related to that. I have tried using a power adapter that worked on my old MS, but now it doesn't work on either. I have tried a similar adapter with the same specs, but with that one, the Power LED doesn't even light up. I tried a Genesis power adapter, but that produced the same result. Does anyone have a spare MS power adapter?

That should work fine. My first SMS came without a brick and I was using a Gen one. Maybe your SMS adapter is friend and you're killing every SMS you get with it? :shock:

Are you absolutely sure that the bricks youv'e been trying are the same voltage and polarity? If the mA rating is too low on the brick it might not work or it might work but be unhappy. If the mA rating on the brick is higher than what the console wants it will be fine.

I don't know, but there's a line of kosher Asian seasonings called "Soy Vay."
I saw that at Walmart once. My dad laughed out loud.

If I were to travel to Cambodia, sushi would one of the last things I would think of eating. I'd be pigging out on the local food. Eating sushi in Cambodia is akin to traveling to France, then eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken. (I'm assuming you live in Cambodia.)

But if you lived in Cambodia, it would be nice to have the variety, right?

Admittedly while in Germany I visited a McDonalds, but that was mainly to see if and how they were different. I also tried the French version of Coke, which I thought tasted terrible.

Dammit, I really wanted bun while I was out running errands on Sunday. I was even driving through one of the 'Asian' parts of town and all the pho places were closed. Now I'm thinking about it again and I doubt I'll be able to make it anywhere after work. :cry:
