Hello, today, i got out my old Sega Megadrive
when i started playing it, after a while, the screen sarted flashing,to the point of unplayabilitie, the screen fades to grey bars for about 2 seconds,then returns to the normal screen, and then it started all over again
anyone knows what is up with the MD? is it broken? or maybe some bad solder point at the rf output?

the games are as clean as it can get, the inside of the console (as seen from the cart slot) is slightly dustyspizznice wrote:Is it dirty? or are the games dirty?
also, before it started acting funny, i heard a small *pop* coming from the console
it stopped after not touching it for a while, but now it has started again, im gonna make a video tomorrow, explaining the issue

but it only happens after like, 15-30 minutes of play
when the power block is running hot
Re: Sega Megadrive Model 1 rf output problem
hmmmm try cleaning the inside of the system and making sure all the capacitors r standing up straight.... if u do that and this still happens its has to be the cord

Re: Sega Megadrive Model 1 rf output problem
why would that make a difference? that's how the caps look in every genesis i've ever opened. and they all work wonderfully. as long as the legs aren't broken, there is no problem to if they are straight or not.spizznice wrote:see ur capacitors are bent... sstand themup straight lol
look over the board and make sure you don't see any corrosion around any of the caps. you mentioned you heard a popping sound? you may just want to try replacing all the caps if you can't see anything wrong.

Re: Sega Megadrive Model 1 rf output problem
it was probably a bad connection. did you heat up the solder points to get them upright? in doing so, you probably fixed the connection.spizznice wrote:It made a huge difference on my genesis 2.... It literally wouldn't play any game until I stood the caps up lol but idk could be Other reasons
if caps had to be standing perfectly upright at all times, then making portables the ways we do wouldn't work. since many often relocate them and have them laying down. i'm just saying.
