    Default Sega CDX not turning on

    after trying to connect a double pro fighter (snes/genesis back up machine), my Sega CDX doesn't turn on. Short of getting another (which I really don't want to do) or a sega genesis/sega CD (too large), any way I can get this fixed?

    I'd suggest talking to the people at www.oldschoolgamer.ca

    I'd check the fuse inside and either replace it or short it.

    Default Fix

    Sorry if this is a super common fix idea but make sure your using the correct power cord. I used one that was for another sega system, however the CDX still turned on, just a blurred image of black lines. I then found the correct plug and now works great. Good luck with the fix
