Bucket Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I currently have two models, one in pieces, that I attempted to connect to my LCD TV using a simple $4 RF adapter from Radio Shack. I get no indication from either machine that it's working - no sound, no change in video, no black screen, no "blip" in the signal that would indicate a poor connection. I have no idea if the problem is with the unit, the games, the power supply, or the adapter. How would I diagnose this problem? Is there a repair guide available?

When you say "in pieces" does that mean you took it apart or it got dropped from, say, a loft? If its the latter, I think I could diagnose if for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Sorry, not that simple. I'd dissected it to attempt a composite video mod, only to discover it was the wrong model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 First, I'd determine if you have power. Next I'd see if the system has power at the voltage regulator. If yes, then I'd check for power at the RF modulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskar42 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 check it on an old tv or with a vcr and see if you have the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
