ok, i got 2 Sega Master System II PAL consoles (1 has been guaranteed to work) i bought them without cables, i recently got my hands on a RF unit controller and power adaptor.
after hooking it up i spent about 3hrs trying to tune it into 2 different TVs with no luck.
I then decided to open the RF unit to see if anything was wrong, the wires inside had broken off and i have no idea where they go (the broken cable is the cord that goes from the RF unit to the back of the TV, i know where 1 of the wires goes but not the other)
i plugged in one of the systems and tried to put the wires in the correct places, all i could get was a white strip through the middle of the screen and all rest is black. then i tried connecting the system directly to the TV without the RF adaptor...with the same white strip and rest is black. (do you even need the RF adaptor? it seems just to be a switch between TV and the game console)
also it seems weird...i plugged in the console with the official sega power supply and i had not such white strip...it was just fuzzy like no signal. But when i use a 3rd party 9v 850ma power adaptor it shows the white strip (the console requires 9v 500ma, while the official adaptor is 9v 1000ma <- just so you know i didn't burn it out with the 3rd party adaptor)
i just really need help...please!
Thanks
does anyone know what this white strip means? is the console defective?
