So, recently bought a Mega CD, knowing that it may not be working properly.
Sure enough, I got it home and it was dead.
Recapped the power board and tried again.
Success - unit came on, and the splash screen came up but the sound was garbled.
Switched it off, cleaned all the contacts, tightened the slots the mobo and Mega Drive connect to and tried again.
Some improvement but not significant.
So I decide to recap the mobo as that seems to be a given thing to do with most of these old MCD units.
Put everything back together and now all I can get is this:
And there's like a muffled clicking / popping noise coming out of the speakers.
What am I missing here?
