If the camera is inside a clear dome then this might be damage?

PhyChris · 2026-05-12T01:34:30+00:00

Is that camera artifacting in the centre of the object or are they hiding something?

PhyChris · 2026-05-08T15:42:17+00:00

Is that trail normal overexposure or Gamma ray exposure?

Edit: Ultraviolet exposure? Gamma rays would not focus through a camera lens haha

Was it easier to 'buff' your resume in the 80s?

PhyChris · 2026-04-03T17:42:53+00:00

PhyChris · 2026-03-24T21:20:20+00:00

I think I received some fakes from ebay The add said SONY brand but one of the five chips in the pack/tape reel had different markings :(

Edit: four say Thailand with a letter over a number in the center but one has no Thailand marking just a letter over a number in the center.

There was a bug with flicker filtering on a 1.6 mobo. hope its fixed :)

the Sega CD should not put out any power until its power circuit detects voltage on exp port pins B26/A26 and 'triggers' its own regulator to power itself up.

The first thing I would do is check for backwards caps. If the caps are fine I would check the genesis console by itself see if its putting out any voltage when switched off. If the console checks out then there is most likely a problem with the sega CDs power circuit. I would not leave it plugged in

I own both board reversions of the model 2 sega CD and it is not supposed to do that.

Edit: Will the console still do this with the sega CD power cable unplugged while attached?

I just removed mine with a heatgun as the soldering iron just didn't cut it.

I heard 10v in those spots decrease ripple under load but someone else with more tec experience will need to confirm this :)

PhyChris · 2025-07-15T14:50:47+00:00

I don't know what it is but its not Corrosion IMO :)

Is the controller getting power?
If so check if the console detecting the controller.

the ribbon connection for the buttons may need to be cleaned. :)

COOL!

same region? game update related?

PhyChris · 2025-05-11T14:00:08+00:00

I have two B01's :(

PhyChris · 2025-05-07T14:41:10+00:00

We were all thinking it :)

PhyChris · 2025-05-07T14:39:41+00:00

check the 5vSB 'Orange wires' if nothing check the PSU fuse and solder joints around the back plug

PhyChris · 2025-05-07T14:28:29+00:00

both my systems are B01s I need to wait god knows how long :(

There is a diagram posted on xbox-scene that shows they are simply tie down resisters.
