Repairing and Refurbishing a Sega CD Model 2

Hey retro community! Today I tackle that Sega CD model 2 I picked up a while back and see if I can get it working. It also came with a model 1 Genesis, and while the focus of this video is the Sega CD, I do test it as well in case that's the culprit, though a full repair on it doesn't happen in this video. Note: The audio in the first part of the video is not great due to me forgetting to switch to the external mic and by the time I realized, it was too late for me to re-record those sections. Tried cleaning it up as much as possible. Normal audio starting at around the 8:30 mark. ============================================================ Update 4/17/23: Forgot to test with the Mega SG so here's a link to a #youtubeshorts to see if it does:    • Sega CD Mega SG Follow-up #retrogaming #se...   Link to previous Sega Genesis repairs/refurbishes: Genesis 1 Refurb:    • Episode 04 - The Sega Genesis   Genesis 2 Refurb:    • Refurbing a Model 2 Genesis   ========================================================== Music Used: ----------------------------------- Collision Chaos (Present) - Sonic CD The Volcano Outlands (Stage 7) - Joe and Mac (Genesis/MD) Mystic Cave Zone (2 player) - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis/MD) ========================================================== Timestamps: ----------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 0:10 Model 1 Genesis 0:50 Genesis 1 issues 1:38 Genesis 1 repair 1:55 Genesis 1 test 3:38 Sega CD test 5:18 Sega CD test 2 5:38 Sega CD teardown 9:00 Sega CD motherboard/testing fuse 10:54 Replacing the fuse 14:30 Case cleanup 15:12: Testing after repair 17:03 What to do with the battery? 24:20 RF shield work 25:36 Re-assembly 33:31: Another test 35:28 Final test 37:42 Conclusion ============================================================ Hashtags: ----------------------------------- #segageneisis #sega #genesis #segacd #megadrive #megacd #retrogaming #vintagegaming #repair #refurbish #videogames
