Neo geo CD problem

The system RED LIGHT flickers on and of
no screen output

I measured the PSU and it seems okay

any help or tips?

 

I suppose not?
I did a google search like a long while ago, but nothing states a clear solution to the problem,
does anyone have the same problem as me?

 

i'm going to try that and head back here, but i checked for broken capacitors, visually.

 

So it looks like there's something wrong with the AC adaptor after all.
when i measure the input on the inside of the system, the reading constantly differs depending on the flickering of the LED on/off.

Can i conclude the AC adaptor is dead? or faulty?

 

It's likely, but not 100% certain - it's also possible that something inside the console is pulling too much power and making the PSU shut down, but I would certainly try another PSU before anything else.
