Sega CD won't power on

[Jedite]

I just bought a Sega CD off Ebay, and it won't power on. I know for a fact it takes a model 1 Genesis AC adapter, which is what I am using. I am using a Model 2 Genesis to connect to. I have an AC adapter to connected to both. Is my CD system dead? Because I'm not getting any kind of power LEDs from my CD system.

Could be a loose connection.

Checked the connections, connections are all in.

There is a fuse on the board that is nutorious for blowing. If you bridge that fuse it will work.

I'll snap a pic of what i'm talking about when I get home.

See if that helps.

Before replacing the fuse, bridge the connection and see if it powers on. If it doesn't, the system has other problems.

Does it act like it isn't plugged in?

yeah.

The voltage regulator needs to be replaced. I've repaired a few SMS systems with this problem.

Easy fix if you have the part and know how to solder.

Check my selling thread, I have a cheap SMS for sale with a fresh new regulator.

I can do a trade for your broken SMS if you'd like.
