As the title says. I bought a Saturn in like-new condition at the flea market, but it won't turn on. I checked the cables, and nope, nothing.

I'm not sure what to do here, so... anyone know who can repair Saturns? ^^;

yeah, i'd give the power supply a recapping, and check the 4 pin (is it?) connector that pops out from the mainboard and connects the psu for dry joints.

Buy another Saturn at another flea for 10 bucks, if your not technically minded the chances of fixing it are looooooooooow

How does that answer his question? :)

It isn't always cheaper to buy another unknown. It can be. It all depends on what you want.
