All right guys - You've been a lot of help. I'm gonna give it try tonight with another adapter, that is if I have anything on hand (i think i only have an nes, snes, and some misc junk)...

I'll report after further testing...

unless the aliens make my computer stop working too.

None of the three systems worked after they were shipped the second time, and it was because they werent getting any juice. I suppose the power adapter could have crapped out - but all 3 of them? I stick with my aliens theory. Is another adapter something thats difficult to come by? I really dont have the time or resources to do science experiments on it - but i appreciate the suggestion! Seriously though, where can i pick one up?

I dunno, still seems weird to me. I had other japanese consoles in the shipment too (NEO GEO, Famicom, etc...) - and they all worked fine at my apartment. I think I would have noticed a discrepancy if it were stepdown related. I have no idea what it could have been. On the initial tests of the systems, I used both cards and cds and they all seemed to work fine. Someone has to have a solution!! I'll hook anyone up with some japa-games if they can help me get these things to work!

Yeah, they werent banged up or anything. And to clerify, I powered them up fine when I first got them here in NY. I sent them to Minnesota, and they didnt work at one house, so we tried them at another house. Still nothing. You hook everything up correctly, and you get no power. So obviously its not a disc reading problem - its more related to the power supply. But I have them back in NY now, and i've tested them in the same outlets they've worked in before. i have no clue. they've had time to dry out if it was condensation too, i originally got them last november. I find it hard to beleive that they made the trip from Japan to the US just fine, but when i try to ship them domestically they crap out. Any other suggestions? Anyone here gut these things and repair them?

Recently I had 3 consoles shipped to me from Japan. One Duo, and two of the white CD consoles (forget the model name). Anyway, they were complete with everything - one even came boxed. I tested each one and they worked fine here in NY with both cds and cards. I shipped them back to MN to be sold and when they were tested there not ONE of them powered up. I swear to got they worked when I had them, the box wasnt damaged in shipping or anything either - it seems wierd to me that not one of them works. I've tried using different power supplies but it has no effect. Any Suggestions???
