Problem with my Sega CDX

[ScoreAddict]

Hi!

I have a very similar problem with my CDx!

Description over here:

http://www.theisozone.com/forum/view...p?f=65&t=46155

Maybe some of you can help me?

All the Capacitators have been replaced and the battery is charged at 2.57V (maybe too low?). Power supply is original (Multi Mega or PS2) so it's not that issue.

I'm wondering if the RAM or BIOS could be the issue. Is there any way to enter the BIOS or do a "factory reset" on the console?

Addendum:

A cheap replacement for the ML-2016 (3V, 25mAh) rechargable battery in this console is the VL- or ML-2020. It is used in the remote control for some BMW-cars - price at about $7-$8 (5 Euro). Should also work for the Sega- and Mega-CDs expansions.

Everyone else on holiday?

Addendum:

Old ML-2016 rechargable battery replaced with a brand new VL-2020. Issues remain.

So it's not the voltage of the battery.

Console repaired, all functions restored!

The problem was the Sega CD-BIOS not initialising. Basically waiting for Sega CD-components to report back, which they did not do. Hence a startup-screen but no animation playing, hence a black screen after each reset.

The problem was a corroded pin on the 315-5632, which is one of the two Sega CD's ics. These are located on the lower side of the upper pcb.



Most certainly no connection here.



It's not the greatest paint job, but it did the job.
