Problem with my GT

[SKYNET]

Hi all i have only just recently started playing and collecting PC engine , i have just brought a GT and i cannot seem to get it working properly when i power it up the sound comes on fine but the screen just stays black . Do these systems take time to warm up or something or is it just broken , i have tried new batteries etc... Any help at all would be appreciated . Thanks

I just had a picture on it for the first time ! i just left it for a bit and it came on but it doesnt seem to be able to stay on it seems very sensitive when im holding it and fades away . iT seems to work better on some games than others also .

Make sure you don't mix batteries if you are using batteries and you are using the correct AC adapter if you use an AC adapter (the official adapters are the best to use, of course). I have had bad results using mixed batteries before but when I use new batteries, AC adapter, or my battery pack, it works fine.

I dont have an original power cable for it , and the adaptor on the one i have does feel a little loose , im gonna try and hunt one down on ebay or some import site . Hopefully it will make a difference and i can get it working properley   . Thanks for your help anyway .

No problem, but if I were you I would avoid using that ac adapter and wait until you have an official one, just to be completely safe. TE/GT's are very fragile units .

Yes will do , i did read about them being fragile so i was worried it could have been damaged in the post . I had it working for a while with batteries in yesterday , it took a few minutes to get warmed up though ! But at least i know now it isnt totally useless

your GT the problem can replace 2 parts from inside for the sound and the display problem
