rhindlethereddragon Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I haven't used my coregrafx in quite a while, but appears to be a goner. I wonder if I could have damaged the plug by attempting to use it once with my SUPER GRAFX, which uses it's own cord? (and no... I did not try to use the Super Grafx power supply with the Core Grafx). The fact that the Core Grafx doesn't use an LED light for power makes it difficult to diagnose.

ApolloBoy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Even if you did use the SuperGrafx's power supply it wouldn't hurt it as they use the same type of power supply anyway. The Core Grafx has a glass fuse inside, try checking that and see if it's blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhindlethereddragon Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I will open it up and check the fuse, thanks! Could I get such a fuse at Radio Shack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a plain glass fuse you can get at Radio Shack or pretty much any hardware store. Make sure to match the ratings however, as you never want to go under or over amperage and voltage ratings for fuses. The fuse itself is soldered in but it's very simple to remove.

Galeforcerm Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Actually you can go lower in amp rating on a fuse as long as it doesn't blow with normal use. You never want to go higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Yeah, but going lower can be a potential problem, too, when it comes to future repairs. I'd never want to do repairs with anything but a true drop-in replacement since I would likely forget what the original rating was, assuming that the fuse managed to hang on for awhile.
