I bought another Sega Saturn from eBay with no power. This time it is the Mk1 version (very nice looking). It doesn’t power up.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this ‘Trying to FIX’ series. Many thanks, Vince.

Nice find ..especially getting false readings The bad one was reading a little higher ..
For test meter Peak atlas DCA55 Component analyzer … They build good Test meters Little pricey I bought years ago they have a new version out Check them out vince….
Money well spent Their capacitor tester is nice too
Just had a look at the Datasheet for the TOP202 and its quite a clever device but relatively easy to understand for anyone who would like to move forward and learn to use an Oscilloscope this would be a good place to start, having only three pins the correct waveforms will be clear and very easy to see if its running or not without the need for a tester ( a scope is a high level tester I guess !) It uses PWM to set and maintain an output so the pulses will be easy to spot and as you have a battery powered scope relatively safe. However I bear no responsibility if you blow your house up ! and of course you should proceed at your own pace and what your comfortable with but its a logical step or maybe stick to battery operated stuff for your first 'scopeing'…anyhow just sayin and Great Video !….cheers.
Very awesome! Another console saved.
Hi Vince don’t know if you know the Tv series called wheeler dealers which is on discovery but they buy cheap cars and repair/renovate them and sell them on for a small profit, this weeks episode they buy a 1980 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit and fix it up it might be worth a watch !
There's no power supply that can resist you 🙂
Very Long Easy Right… Maybe. GAME OVER Yeahhhhhh.
