Buy a new one; they're cheap enough. Problem solved, the end.

C'mon! Just telling him to get a new one isn't in the spirit of these forums! Lets try to help the guy fix his dc!

That being said, I think your best bet is to buy a new dreamcast.

<_< >_>

I'll leave...

EDIT: yeah , u should buy a new one , or try to get a new PSU , but sometimes you can get a DC for the same price ...

Yeah the easiest thing to do is buy a new one. Parts cost more seperately, then buying a new system.

If ya need one, I have tons of working dreamcast psu's and even one from a japanese dreamcast.

Or I think richspxsparts.com or some other place that I can't recall right now sells dc psu. If dc are going for $20, then it might be worth fixing your simple problem.
