Hi Guys, what happened to me yesterday could be a big pile of s**t.

I just bought a MEGA-CD (ver 1) JAP very good conditions,from what the seller said.

Truth is: http://www.mediafire.com/?2eym4teb3jm

1)When th mega-CD is booting up, a strange trembling sound keeps on all the time on TV, the CD unit ejects everything, it's not even spinning.

2)When in megadrive mode with a MD CART running and the MEGA-CD unit attached, the trembling audio remains and the CD tray keeps ejecting

3)If the megadrive is disconnected from Mega-CD everything is alright.


The seller told me that when He tried it everything was working perfectly.
What I know, is that I just paid 180€ for this garbage.

Any kind soul can help me fixing it?

I gave you advice on the other forum.

"Oh, the sound is electrical? Check the piano contacts on the Sega Genesis.

If you have a different Genesis/MegaDrive you can try, do so. If this sound is from the TV, then a capacitor or ground is possibly faulty.

Audio is passed into the Sega Genesis analog, not digitally. Though if you can't get a game to spin up and play and it's automatically ejected, then it might be the Sega CD is faulty. Hope you can return it.."
