Jordy Halket Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Hey, I've got a megadrive cart which when inserted the console will not switch on. No power indicator led. Work fine with other carts. Is it totally fried? Or can I save it. Just wondering if it is a common fault and if it has a fix. Thanks for reading.

Bruce Tomlin Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Could be one of a few things... - cartridge edge connector could be dirty - cartridge slot could be dirty - cartridge slot could be weak from too much use of circuit boards that are too thick (not very common) - board could have a problem like being cracked (chip can be transplanted to a donor board) - chip could be fried First thing to do would be to try it in another system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
