just got some good news my oddessey 2 works the ac adapter is junk. I took the system apart to check if it was getting power which it wasn't so I tried using my generic ac adapter on it and it worked. it's really amazing how long these systems had sat outside in an old camper but still work
going to have to get a generic ac adapter for it probably end up selling it(or trying to).

Sweeeet.

And yeah most of the old cart systems are very reliable. Early CD systems though....tend to be pieces of crap.

Lens's are typically alot more sensitive and complex than connector pins.

I'm aware of why and obviously it's no surprise that early versions of something are a bit finnicky. I expect I will have to repair my SUPER CDROM2 attachment some day. Whereas I doubt I will ever have to fix my SNES, Core Grafx, Genny etc...

I bought my Sega CD (model 2) non-functional but got it working pretty easily.

how did you fix it?

[Gypsy]

Just took it apart, cleaned it, greased the gears and put it all back together.. I was figuring to have to replace the lens but didn't have to.

wow simple fix.

Model 2 Sega CD is very easy to deal with. Everything inside is fairly modular. Even replacing stuff is super simple.

My Gamegear on the other hand I am going to have to send to someone much more skilled than me.

Indeed. Cars, appliances etc...all that stuff is computerized now and designed to be a pain in the ass to fix.

that sucks.

Yeah pretty much. Needs new caps and that's beyond my ability.

They're easier than you'd think, honestly. Worst part is removing the old surface mounted caps and hoping they haven't leaked too badly.

[Gypsy]

Myself. Lord knows I don't need some Ebay selling company taking ANOTHER 30%.
