Sega CD won't start up

Post by ThunderPrince »

So recently a friend came to me telling me his Sega CD doesn't work and hasn't for a long time. I plug everything in and turn on the power, nothing. no disc spin, no picture. not sure what could be wrong with it. it's the model 2 version btw. any ideas? I would hate to see a perfectly decent hardworking american Sega CD get tossed in the trash.

Check the fuse. The fuses on Sega CDs pop pretty easily. Try to use an official Sega power supply if at all possible.

check that your using the right power supply it must be 9v not anything else seeing that sega made 10v and 7v u might have the wrong power
