    Default HELP NEEDED: How to repair a Sega CD 2

    The drive won't spin and the LED light won't even turn on, people tell me it's the fuse, but I can't find it.
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    It's a green part that looks like a resistor in the corner by the power supply.

    Here you go :

    http://www.mrvfone.com.au/sega/fuse.htm

    And you don't have to put a new fuse in , you can just use a wire to bridge the connection. If you're sure you're using the proper power supply .

    As you can see, there are two green ones near the PSU outlet...and since everything is so close together, I dunno what to do

    I found FL301...it's that big black box, next to the green one on the right

    Yet the website wants "F301" I don't know if they are the same..or different

    If you have a voltmeter just check it and see if it's "shorted"
    A fuse will be "shorted" if it's working and "open" if it's blown.

    Ok I checked each one with a voltmeter and all seems fine, even the black box...

    I get a reading on each one perfectly

    Well you're not supposed to get a reading on a fuse.

    Those must just be resistors.

    With a fuse , if it is shorted like it's supposed to be you will get a 0.00 reading . Assuming you are checking without power.

    If you check with power you will get the same voltage value from both sides. If it is blown , you will get a voltage reading from one side and nothing from the other.

    Those might just be normal resistors you are checking.
