    Default Jaguar Power issue

    I have a new problem. This time it's an Atari Jaguar console. It simply doesn't power on. The power supply is good because it powers my other Jaguar up just fine.

    Things I have done:

    -Checked for bent pins in the cartridge slot.

    -Cleaned the cartridge slot

    -Tried a few different games, having cleaned each one and tested it on another Jaguar Unit.

    -checked the board for obviously blown, bulging, or damaged components or solder points

    -checked the nearest capacitor to the power connector, and a few others. Get potential voltage across many but not all.

    -Checked the switch. Get voltage across its solder points/poles.


    At this point I don't know exactly what could be fried. For reference, the system worked, then was put away, and when it was pulled back out during the brief time I owned a Jaguar CD, it simply ceased to power on. Also, its power adapter is different than the one with my other Jaguar. The one that came with it is marked for Jaguar (molded logo into the power brick like a Sega adapter, rather than the silver label that my working one has) does not power on my good system.

    I'd love to see if I can get this working. No huge deal if I can't but Anybody have any ideas for me to try?
