    Default Sega And Nintendo Power Supply Repair Questions

    Is it possible to open these up and repair dead ones? If so how do you get them open considering the weird security screws they use? Thanks for any help or tips anyone can help me with this as I have several. Thanks again.

    I don't know if they can be fixed, but you should be able to pick up another one cheap.

    Ive been meaning to try and track down the bits these things take.... as far as ive seen theres 2 different types used... but in most cases of these things youre prob better off getting a new one then tracking down these bits since some supplies just cant be fixed...

    Yes, it's possible to repair those power supplies, but if the fault is with the transformer it won't be worth the time or trouble to repair it.

    Usually its the cord that fails near the ends from years of being pulled on. A volt meter can verify continuance, lop off the bad end and resolder.
