BlkShelby Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone! Obviously a little new here. Looking to get my 1.6 repaired if anyone can help me out. Basically, my son and I were playing a game and console completely turned off. Turned it back on and it immediately shut off. Tried again and it wouldn’t turn on anymore. Just a click. I ordered a new power supply thinking that may be the culprit, swapped it out and still nothing. Console is softmodded and has a larger HDD that I did myself about 6-7 years ago. I rarely play (have 2 kids under 5) but my autistic son is really into sonic (which is installed on the HDD). My original sega is in storage:( I also would have to look for the original HDD drive which is probably in storage as well since I haven’t had it in there for years. At this point I’m sure it’s a motherboard issue, but definitely want to get it working again. Anyhow, let me know what possible options are! Thanks again!

KaosEngineer Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Bad caps by the CPU heatsink or a burned-out surface mount transistor at location Q7C2 (watch Floydzabarber's YT video on test and repair of this part): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lina_Inverse_ Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 If you have any skill at soldering, I would give it a go, after all, compatible transistors are extremely cheap. The solder pads look small and daunting but it's not too bad, you just have to go slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 There is the equivalent to that transistor in PC boards that along with a few of its friends is often the cause of the same issue in PCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
