SuperDork3000 Posted May 31, 2003 Author Share Posted May 31, 2003 I just took the cover off and noticed that the 2 small screws that hold the board down are missing. Could this effect it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the cover off and if you can operate the switch without the case, then there's a problem aligning the board/case/button. Yes, the missing screws can cause this... but only if the switch is working properly. If the switch is bad, then the screws are probably not going to fix it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 It sounds like the power button is stuck in the closed position. Since you have it taken apart already, push down on the white power switch and see if it clicks on and off. Edit: T'bird beat me .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDork3000 Posted May 31, 2003 Author Share Posted May 31, 2003 I tried power it with the cover off and , nothing. I also put new screws in, after that it started blinking on and off. Now it doesn't power up at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it doesn't power up at all Better check the cartridge port. The cart port needs a cart securely inderted to power up. If the contacts are bent or dirty it might make it act funny.
