Sega CD Refurbish - Sega CD Won't Turn On - Fixing eBay Junk

RetroRepairs 55 min Published Feb 2019

About this video

Why will a Sega CD not turn on? The maker refurbishes one with a new power fuse, save battery, capacitors and drive belt, and repairs a few other faults too.

Good to know: Soldering means burns and fumes. Old save cells leak corrosive residue. Use a cell with solder tabs, solder only the tabs, never put an iron on the cell, never short or charge it. Never look into a powered laser.

Why watch it

Two Sega CDs were sent to the maker and only this one gets the full refurbish. At 55 minutes it is a long job, and a few further repairs turn up beyond the listed parts.
