PC Engine Core Grafx II Problem, possibly power related

So I just went to play some R-Type and got no response from my PC Engine.

I typically use it through my RGB amplifier (transistors), and was playing about with capacitors (220uF) on the RGB lines (and composite sync) last night. After getting no image I've removed them and now I get nothing.

My EverDrive light doesn't blip on when accessing the MicroSD card so I assume I've broken something somehow.

I've also tried connecting it to my LCD TV via the regular composite cables.

I typically use it with an Atari Jaguar PSU which is rated 9V 1.2A - although my multimeter seems to think it's 12v which is a bit disturbing.

Any idea what's up?

 

Try checking the fuse, which is located under the heat sink. The fact that your Jag PSU shows up as 12V is normal as that's what it puts out without a load.

 

Had a similar response over on pcenginefx.

I took a picture of my fuse and it seems that what you suggested is the case.

I'll report back when I get around to changing it.

Yep, put in a 1A axial fuse and all seems to be working now. Thanks guys.
