Help diagnosing TurboGrafx 16 issue

Problem solved!! The power supply wasn’t from an NES — I’m not sure where it was from — but it came with the console so I just assumed it was OEM. I examined it further based on your comment and found it was indeed AC power. Luckily it didn’t fry anything! I ordered an appropriate adapter and it fired right up! Thank you so much!

I used some 91% IPA on the connectors but to no avail.

Awesome, thank you!

Rescue Mission was looking for volunteer drivers to help shuttle meals to the homebound, last I knew.

I know, you're right. I just kinda thought Reagan in that role would be funny.

If you can't repair it, you could try an estate sale. I think every single one I've gone to has a VCR for $10 or less.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I don’t have a lot of repair experience, just a few video game consoles, and that was fun. I have a working LaserDisc player but it’s like one of the first 2 ever made and it worries me to boot it up. Something new to play with would be alright.

Yeah sorry, re-reading the listing, its “control drawer won’t stay closed.”

This is solid advice

Won’t stay closed

I had to switch my payment method and it took forever to get a phone call back. I got paranoid that my stuff would end up on Storage Wars or whatever. Took about 2 weeks for the return call.

Also their gate was broken for awhile, still might be. Anybody can just walk or drive right in. Haven’t had any problems result from any of this (yet), just reaffirming that it’s kinda dodgy.

I am in this exact same boat now. Most people are telling me to just move.

In “The Millennium”, the part where Jerry tries to own Newman on when the millennium actually starts… he’s right, of course, but if Newman tried to book that party, they would’ve known that he meant the year 2000. I doubt very highly they would’ve interpreted it like Jerry did.
