Neo Geo - Please help!

[elviticus]

OK- so I bought a Neo Geo with 2 sticks, a regular controller and 3 games: Fatal Fury Special, Fatal Fury 3 and Top Golf (or something). I got it for $250 shipped - a good deal, I thought.

 

Anyway, it arrived today, all looked good, but the system has NO SOUND.... ugghhhhh.... So I'm reaching out for help to any who have or know about the Neo Geo AES. Some questions:

 

Would it be worth trying a new AV cable - and how hard to get/where to look for one?

 

Any other ideas for a fix?

 

Ok, only 2 questions I guess.

 

Judging by the price this stuff seems to go for, I kind of think it's an okay deal either way.... At least I'll have plenty of controllers and 3 pretty good games if I have to get another unit.

 

Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah - does anywhere fix these ? 4 Jays maybe?

did you try wiggling around the carts? i know it sounds stupid but my shitty neo geo did the same thing...

well with mvs carts, it may be the phantom 1 converter i have, idk. Goodluck.

try cleaning the pins, no sound is one of the problems that dirty connections will cause

Buy the cheap mod kit. it gives you the stero jacks and S-Video. unless theres a problem with the sound card on the board that could be it 2. But maybe the mod will fix it but im not sure.

Thanks for the replies! so.... how is best to clean the pins? Also, where could I get a mod kit, and does it come w/installation instructions ?

 

Thanks again for the help.

It's not the official site. It's just the people that got the URL.

If you're not getting any sound from the A/V connector OR from the headphone jack, the mod kit won't fix the problem.

There's a volume slide control on the very front of the system. Make sure that is pushed all the way to the right.

Have you tried the headphone jack?

 

If not, make sure the headphone volume slide is up some ways and try that. It may just be the AV sound that is mucked up.

[elviticus]

Nope- no sound from the headphones either, unfortunately. Tried turning up the slider too.
