No Signal
Hello. I have had my Dreamcast for about 5 months and I've only played it twice due to my limit of games. The first and second times I have turned them on it worked completely fine. I have not played it or turned it on since then. I recently got a new tv and I tried plugging it in and I was getting no signal. To make sure it wasn't the tv I plugged in my GameCube and it worked like normal. Any fixes or help?

Hi
What Sort of AV Cable is it?
Does it have the same connection (at the TV end) as your GC Cable?

Re: No Signal
Could be a power supply problem. Open the DC, 4 screws on bottom. (Power unit on without being plugged in). Then remove two power supply screws. Unseat the power supply, clean power supply pins with 99% Iso Alc and then use pliers to bend the pens gently towards the back or northend of the console. Reseat power supply and case and hook it up again and see if that fixes it.HMPG wrote:Hello. I have had my Dreamcast for about 5 months and I've only played it twice due to my limit of games.
