Sega Genesis 16-Bit.. Won't Power On / Show Picture

[Hitman Tyler]

Hi Everyone,
Can someone tell me whats wrong / how to fix :

The Story:

My sega genesis 16-bit would never power on / show picture.
I really didn't care until now, I would like you use this one as a back-up.
I plug the AC Adapter in the system into the wall and system. Hook the RF Adpater up to TV and System...
NO POWER & PICTURE.
So I bend the wire (AC Adapter) Now it powers on.. But... I still have NO Picture...
If I do not bend the wire (AC Adapter) there is no power.
I even opened the system and cleaned it.

So Please tell me whats wrong...

P.S. The Cables I am using says (If this helps):
Sega Auto RF Switch
Model # 1603A
The AC Adapter I am using
Sega
Model # 1602-1
Use With Sega Genesis

Also if need more info let me know.

Thanks,
HITMAN TYLER

Ok. Try these things:

a) Try the RF switch on another console. The NES, Genesis and Master System use compatible RF units, so any of those consoles will do fine as tests. Does it work?

b) Instead of putting the cart all the way in, put it midway and pull the cart to the front of the console, then turn the system on. Does it work? If it does then your cartridge slot pins are loose.

You need a new power supply. Yours has a break in the cord. You could try to fix the power supply, but it might be easier to get a new one.

I can't try the 1st one... Since I have no other system that will fit the RF switch.

Also the 2nd one, All of my games work... I tested them on my other Genesis NOT the 16-Bit version.

I didn't mean to imply that the carts didn't work. I wanted you to test if the Genesis cartridge slot is loose.
