    Hello people, I'm new here but I have visited the forum forum some times and, now, I come here in need for help.

    A few months ago I bought a broken Neo Geo CD, I bought it because it was really cheap (~US$20), with box, 2 controllers, RF Cable, PSU and 6 complete games (Alpha Mission 2, Aero Fighters 2, Real Bout Special, KOF95, Samurai Shodown 3 and Super Sidekicks 2 ). The problem is, it was working all right but, they stopped using it 10 years ago, without turning it on even once so, when I turn it on the led lights and I can hear the bios music and just it. There is no video and the game does not start.

    If you want I can post some video of it (not) working and some pictures of the inside.
    Can any body help me? :pray:

    The first place I would try is http://www.neo-geo.com/

    I heard NCDs are hard to repair, there are cheap units on ebay most of the time.

    I don't buy on ebay, I'm Brazillian and I don't have an International Credit Card, so my only option is to fix it ^^'

    I would open it and check for any blown capacitors. It's a basic thing to check I suppose.
