ReanimationLP · Post by **ReanimationLP** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 2:51 pm

Hey. Some time back, I bought about 20 broken Dreamcasts off of eBay, for about 40 total. Not a bad deal, since 5 of them worked and all, and there was a working Japanese console. But now im stuck with 15 BROKEN Dreamcasts, which I want to fix up and sell off. They all do the same d*mn thing. When you turn it on, you get a black screen. No Picture, No Audio, no disc spin, nothing. Just the black screen. Anyone know how to fix this?

well, i dont know anything about that particular error, but you might want to check some basic stuff, like if the power board is still providing the right voltages, if all parts of the DC are active and such, maybe that will get you on the right track

Easiest way to figure that out would probably be to start switching parts with a working dc one by one until you find the problematic part.

Could be a bad video chip.

Like I said, anyone who signs up for both will receive a free Dreamcast with free shipping. Ein, if you do that, I will send you a second Dreamcast for 10. Not bad for 10 dollars.
