If the power adapter doesn't work, then the opamp in the genesis is most likely fried..
i've never run across this before, but it's possible.

Is there a way I could tell without using a new adaptor? I would try another one, I just don't have one at the ready. I'm beginning to wonder if I should just pick up a model 1 Genesis.
got a multimeter?
I had a feeling you'd say that..... No, I don't. I guess I should get a new adaptor, do you think that picking up a model 1 genesis is worth it, I mean would you recommend it over a model 2. Oh and thanks man, you're really helping me. I do apreciate it.
i prefer the model 1, as they have better sound quality, but for stereo sound, you have to get audio from the headphone jack, as the rear is the same jack as the MasterSystem, and that was mono..
Well I put a bid on a new adaptor on ebay. I hope that is all I need, thanks man.
After I play my Genesis(model 1) for a little bit I can sometimes feel a bit of heat coming from the area right above the volume control, to the left of the cart slot. Is this normal? It should be noted that the room I am playing in does not have air conditioning and is pretty hot at this time of year.
Just wondering if this is normal or anything to worry about.
it's the voltage regulator heat syncs, it's normal.
Thanks!
I'm requesting the aid of the Evil Dragon. Oh Sega CD guru, can you help me. I seem to be having the oh so common blown fuse problem with my sega cd. I have everything hooked up correctly and i'm getting to response from the sega cd unit at all. I cracked her open with the intention of replacing the fuse but when i opened it up, the insides were slightly different than they are on the guide that you gave the link to before. Do you know where i'd find the fuse? Let me know if you can help me! Thanks!

which Sega CD? Some use surface mounts instead, and those are very hard to fix... I know how, got one, but I need to know your model first..Quote:

yes, it does.. the fuse is on the bottom, i think it's labled "F1" and likes like a big white resistor (surface mount)
Maybe i'm dumb but i'm looking all over and i can't seem to find it... Could you point out a "landmark" on the board that it's close to? Thanks!
OH, i believe i found it. F301? Underneath the board? Ahh.... so how do you suggest i go about rigging this up?
