I just got my Sega Master System. . .

Like it says above, half the time when I turn it on it doesn't even go on. I tried unplugging it, plugging it in, changing outlets, it just doesn't work all the time. Pissed 'cause I bought it at a flea market that's super far and the only way to get there is by my friends car.

Really pissed about it, not only 'cause it doesn't work, but because I spent 40$ on it. .

FOURTY for a SMS? You got ripped off. I have seen some for 15-20. You should have been more patient.

If it doesn't turn on sometimes, it has MIGHT be the power adaptor. You have a second one to try?

Schlupi: It came with extra's, and tbh on eBay and around here the only ones i see are usually 30 and that's with nothing. This one came with 2 controllers, a light gun, and a game.

Ah ok.

Then I approve! :yaysms:

But yeah, I'm not sure what's going on. It's really frustrating, and I have no other power supply to try it with, and no money for the next 2 weeks. . .

EDIT: k, so we found out it IS the power supply, we wiggled it to a position that makes it work, and we taped it to the wall lmao. Problem TEMPORARILY solved.

It is a VERY old console... Plastic deteriorates, components rust...

Yes and whoever had it before might not have taken good care of it. Without really asking for sure, nobody would know, and it would be rude to ask such a question anyway, mright?

I am glad it's most likely the cord.

THAT will be cheap to replace.

your lucky my friend bought one in a garage sale for 10 bucks but no game 2 controller and the lightgun but the moron that sold the sms to my friend didn't have the rf cable and the power supply so he can't play with it
