as I said it was a sega model 1 power brick ac adapter. I don't understand how it could be plugged in wrong.


Anyway are you saying that I shouldn't use the 12v 5a supply on the duo r

I'd love one if they're still available

no idea what that means


I used a sega model 1 ac adapter that the dumbass store I bought the cd from gave me. Apparently there's a history of that causing the fuses to blow.

Well I'm asking because apparently the fuse in my sega cd blew from using the wrong power supply.

I have a 12v 5a power supply. Will that be sufficient?

The issue that DUO-R systems have is the ports need re-soldering because the connections get cracked over time. So the AV port, Power jack, and controller port should have the pins re-soldered. Other then that those systems are very reliable.

Are there any videos or anything that show how to do this? Maybe someone in the central florida area who does it?

I think I got a decent deal. $220 shipped but it doesn't have the cables or controller. I have a turbografx so I think that the controller will work fine but even if it doesnt' I'm going to Japan in a few weeks I'll pick one up then.

Is there anything I should know? I'm a little worried about hardware problems, specifically the laser for the cd drive. I have a lot of bad luck with lasers from the 90s (Sega CD).

Can someone point me in the direction of a cheap power brick for this thing?
