    Default SEGA Master System Power issues

    Hi everyone. I was trying to play my SEGA Master System today, but unfortunately it wouldn't turn on. I've had some issues with the power supply previously, so I'm willing to guess that it may be the power supply giving me problems.

    I was wondering what other power supply I can use on the Master System to see if that is the problem. I've heard the Genesis 1 (SEGA CD 2 in my case) A/C cables do work, but wanted to verify that first.

    Thanks for any help.

    Edit: Ok, was the power supply (I'm trying to calm down). I'll probably be looking for a new one, but I wanted to know if it is safe to use the SEGA 1602 Power cord for extended periods of time without hurting the Master System. It has the same voltage, but slightly more amperage. I remember hearing more is OK on the ratings, but wanted to check on that.

    Thanks for that. I guess next time I should search more than just the technical restoration forum...
