Discuss modifications you have done or plan to do to your Dreamcast or any other hardware, or discuss devices you want to build. If your console does not work or is acting up, ask about fixing it in here.

Did the modem LED mod again, issue though..

Post by Mattiethomas »

Alright, I did the Modem LED mod and it works fine (Lights up). The problem is when the modem is connected, after turning the Dreamcast on, after a few seconds I lose picture on the screen and I have to turn it off. My assumption is that it's over-heating somehow. After I turned it off I checked the modem, and it was burning hot (On the SEGA chip and elsewhere).

Any idea what I should do to stop this?

double check if you didn't short two pins together when you soldered your wires, your modem may be dead now.
