LOOK!! I Made my own neo geo cd power supply!!!

Hey guys! I would just like to thank the guy who gave me the power input list. Thanks man. Secondly, i would like to thank Allied Electronics for having a voltage converter and regulater. Now to the fun part. For more pics just e-mail me @ Mike26@optonline.net

First i bought this "game adapter" thing from allied electronics, because it was designed for use on consoles for professionals. second i got the input voltage from this site. Then i soldered the wires together, and presto! i was done. I now could turn the system on! But wait, i couldnt get the screen to come on. So i looked back into the system, and found it was a PAL system from england!!!! OH SHIT@! So now i need to convert from 60 to 50 or vise versa. this suxs!!! more to come!!!

did you get teh screen to work? i have similar problems.. does your drive spin?

even a PAL system should give you some picture anyways. most likely b/w and possibly scrolling, but you should see something.. not just a black screen.

it doesn't matter as long as the output voltage is right. he already said he's using a different power supply.

his post said something about the input voltage -- I guess I misread it.

UPDATE!!!!!

THIS SUCKS SHIT GUYS!!!!!
I WORKED FOR 15 HOURS CONVERTING THE UNIT TO NTSC, AND THE POWER LIGHT COMES ON, HOWEVER, THE CD MOTOR/LASER DOESN'T SPIN!!! THIS SUCKS!!!!!!! I DONT EVEN GET A NEO GEO SCREEN. I KNOW I DID THE CONVERSION CORRECTLY, AND BEFORE I CONVERTED IT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK IM GUNNA GET AN MVS!!!! FUCK THE CHEAP SHIT!!! MY DAD COLLECTS PINBALL MACHINES, SO ILL SPEAK TO HIS FRIENDS. ANYWAY, ANY CLUE WHY THIS HAPPENED??? SOME OTHER GUY SAID HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ANY IDEAS?

Do you want to sell the system?

UPDATE again!!

The question is still up. Could it be the ribbon cable? if so, where can i get one? Any ideas/help would be great. At the moment i am questioning whether to sell it or not. If i get some good prices then sure.

THE PICTURES I POSTED WERE MESSED UP, SO I DID NEW ONE AND HERE THEY ARE:

DAMN IT I FORGOT TO CONVERT THEM TO JPG FORMAT!!! SORRY< HERE WE GO ( I HOPE THESE ONES WORK )

JUST E-MAIL ME FOR THE PICTURES

Mike - u can send me the pics if u like.

Make sure the voltage regulator is giving out a constant voltage of the right requirement AND you need at least the current stated - somewhere in the region of 1.2A is it not?

HI,

I haved the same problem, i bought the unit and went to turn it on ( before doing any mods aswell ) and i get the power light but nothing else. Im sure the power supply is ok, but as they give out dual voltages maybe theres a problem. ( maybe the led lights up with one voltage and the cd spins with the other ), i know this place sells a replacement kit for the cd units, apparently they do break down, but the replacement kit is supposed to fix the problem, if you give it a go let me know, in the mean tim ei have got another cd unit on the way and when it arrives i will test the power supply i get with the dead unit i have..

If anyone finds a solution for the dead machines id love to know, someone must have figured it out by now..
