Hi,
After 3 years, I finally got all the accessories for my Neo and I finally bought two games for it. Anyways. I have an adjustable power adapter and it has either 4.5 or 6 volts. I have the 5 volt Neo (serial number 022627). I hook up my Neo to the tv, insert a cartridge, and all I get is a buzzing noise (I tried it at 4.5 and 6). I insert headphones into the headphone jack and all I get is a buzzing noise. i don't know what gives (I'm not getting any video, it looks like a wavy screen to me or garbeled). I cleaned the cartridge port, nothing. Samurai Shodown 2 was brand new and nothing. I took the machine apart and checked everything. No traces seem to be cut nor do there seem to be any bad solder points on the board. Is my Neo that picky that it needs exactly 5 volts for it to function properly? I mean, if it's a no brainer, I'll buy the 5 volt ac adapter, but it just sounds weird. I looked up the info online and I guess mine is the 4th revision of the Neo Geo. I don't know what gives :-( Any info would be greatly appreciated, I got SNK vs. Capcom Chaos for it and I'm absolutely dying to play it.
Thanks,
