- The SEGA CD Model 2 is an attachment I have wanted to get for a while now for my collection and today we're going to attempt to fix one from Ebay. The listing claims it's broken and does not power on, so lets see if we can fix it.

#SEGA #SEGACD #TechWave - Hry
gee I wish spawn wave repairs my broken family in the next week's tech wave

did you try super glue?
Just unplug the battery and wait 30 seconds
did you try soldering their necks

"We got some cobwebs in there" Oh good, the spiders ate the cockroaches, we're fine
You need to complete the setup once it's all fixed. SEGA Genesis II, SEGA CD, SEGA 32X, Sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic Carts.
You forgot the Game Genie to complete the tower of power.
The issue with the 32X is people lose the unique AV cable. Luckily, there are remanufactured ones.
@Michael Skinner I don't have it anymore, but I had the JVC X'Eye and the 32X, I did have Game Genie, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 1-3 as well as Spinball.
And a game genie
THE SEGA TOWER OF POWER
I got a Sega CD Model 2 two years ago and I absolutely LOVE the thing. I had always wanted one also and it's so much fun. The Lunar Games, Shining Force CD, Dune, Terminator, Final Fight CD and so on. When you look at everything that wasn't FMV crap the rest of the library is REALLY good.
The wood table is too dark of a background for the overhead.

A short but lovely techwave. Watching this every Sunday makes my weekend.
A lot of people blow that fuse with a NES AC power supply.
My mom used to blow a fuse when I played Sega all night.
Didn't know that and I had to check psu information out.
Those NES power supplies have ruined quite a few devices in their day.
"how to make $100" in less than 5min and a few dollars"
his nose was adopted and didn't know.
And a soldering iron
Ah I remember the Sega CD days when playing Sewer Shark, Sonic CD, Dracula, and Lunar.
Cat fish to Hole Hog, the dang thang bit me.
Silpheed was one of my favorites on the system. There were a few other great surprises too. Terminator was cool
Night trap a very controversial game
@@timelymirror7826 I bought that thing on PS4. I couldn't figure out the mechanics to save my ass.
I'm still waiting for a new Sewer Shark release. I got all the others already. Whenever they are on sale they only cost two to three dollars, it's great.
Man I don't care what anyone says, the Sega CD kicked ass for the time. Yeah it was overly expensive but other than that it had a lot of interesting games on it.
I truly enjoy watching these type of videos! Such a great tutorial video. Makes me want to try to fix things
bought an "broken" one for 80 bucks "good deal"... well... i see functional ones for 80€ as well^^
If he bought a working one he couldn’t have made any money off of a killer video
80 euros is 94 usd, so yeah, he saved a couple bucks and got a video out of it.
Brings back so many memories. Some friends got this model for Christmas. I was excited for them, but I was also jealous. About a year later I landed an under the table job at 13 years old. My first major purchase was a used Sega CD Model 1. The first game I purchased was Sonic CD. It blew my mind with the opening sequence, and the futuristic dystopian feeling the levels gave. How they implemented the time travel was cool too. While many of the games were blatant full motion video trash there were many hidden gems to discover. Super Nintendo was the king of that era, but Sega earned their place in the history of gaming.
Sega shat on the Super Nintendo
Fun fact: Sega CD systems are also Karaoke CDG disc players. Can't remember how to access that but it's in the system menu. Saw it on a friend of mines a few years back.
Nice fix. It takes an expert to know it is the fuse. Thanks for showing us. I would love to see a soldering tutorial someday
On the sega CD (model 1 and 2) blown fuses are quite common failures
Your videos are awesome man! Thank you for the content really helps with getting through the pandemic. I want to get my game gear screen converted where can I send it?
Just curious, have you ever fixed a Sega CDX? It was a genesis and Sega CD in one system. I heard that those things are a pain in the ass to fix.
I remember toys r us selling those and the nomad on clearance and still couldn't sell them for months. Kinda wish I picked one up
@@razz56rob1
I had a nomad for a few years it was really cool but boy did it burn through batteries if you didn't have the special battery packs.
Of course I needed money and ended up selling it, that was definitely a mistake. Of course in my defense it was years if not decades before they came back into style and became highly sought after.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu I think they had a power brick or power cord u could get for it but I guess that would make it not a portable system. I sold panzer dragoon saga thinking no one would ever pay over $60 for a used game and I was never going to go through it twice. Now I heard it goes for $900
@@razz56rob1 oof size: large
I really love tech waves. Im not technologically versed but these videos are informative and entertaining
With the “strength” of th Sega CD library, unlikely to have burned out the laser!
Great video! What are you using to capture the Sega CD signal to OBS.
Good work Jon. I wish I was half as talented. It was a fun watch.
Aww i wanted to see your reaction when you found out you just had disk 2 lol
Nice that it was such a simple fix! The metal plate that attaches to the bottom of the genesis when it's attached to a sega cd is a useful thing to have though, without it the Genesis will be a little unstable...
Awesome video I've done some sega repair myself I have a Gen 2 but I lost a couple of the screws and I can't seem to find the right ones at the hardware store or ebay any suggestions?
The lasers always work in the model 2 consoles. The issue is the spindle slides down on the shaft and causes the laser to go out of focus or the disc will actually hit the housing and make horrible noises. The model 1 it's usually just the belt that causes the laser to not read a disc because the draw mechanism can't bring the laser head up to the disc to read it properly. Also the capacitors in the model 1 systems and a huge issue. But thankfully they're easy to replace.
Nice score! My NES needed a bodgewire as someone had cut IRQ and rejoined it with a bodgewire but didn’t realise they cut the next track over. Clean the 72 pin and all good. And all for $AUD8 from a local thrift store 😄
How about the virtual boy. I hear the eye piece can disconnect leaving a cycloptic mess.
I beleve there's a ribbon cable inside that becomes disconnected from a board (some type of adhesive that breaks down). I bought two broken VBs years ago. Each had one bad cable. Now I have one working and one with two bad cables. 😁
Mine have that problem. I have to find the courage to attempt a repair.
@@marie-franceFortin Years ago, I found someone that would do the repairs for $30 or so, but I just never got around to sending mine off. Look on Reddit and other similar places.
Ugh I bought 2 just to find out that the link cable to play two players would never release. Luckily I heard u can get the link cable now for Mario tennis. I think u have to do something though to get the game to activate it
I've heard that the gameplay can cause real life health side effects and so I never even wanted to emulate the games. Obviously playing Mario Tennis on a TV is different than playing it on Virtual Boy, but I didn't want to give the console the time of day.
Love that Turtles arcade t-shirt!
glad I watched this. I didnt know people were buying these yet. I actually have two genesis 1's and CD 2's and tried to sell them like 10 years ago with a starting bid of $50. didnt even sell. One broke one working too
Great video! Awesome shirt!
Finally your doing Sega refurb! SEGA!!!
Love watching these. I love to tinker with technology as a hobby lol
I did the exact same thing this year added a mega cd to my collection it’s big but it looks so good having it next to my other consoles definitely if you are into console collecting a mega cd is a fine addition to anyone’s collection
I'm jealous. This has been on my list for a while. I love your show. I know you have 2 channels and you upload often, but let's get some more content k. Haha. I'll watch it I promise. Thanks!
I have 6 of these in my closet
@@cdub0421 collecting, old stock, holding on for value? What's the reason?
I am giving one to each of my 3 children and the other 3 are ones I bought 20 years ago
Yeah I've got one that's real special to me that I bought 20 years ago in a lot for $75 it had 30 Sega CD games and 25 Genesis games with the Genesis model one inbox and the Sega CD model two was inbox it reminded me of when I was 11 I grew up poor and my family couldn't afford it and I told myself one day I have one and then one turned into six model twos and three model ones
I would love to have on of these too. It sucks how expensive the great games are. I guess that’s true of most older systems now
Just looking at that Sega CD gave me chills. The release of that system was a formative time in my life, and I loved it even though I had to rent it because my family couldn't actually afford one
Nice. My system had the exact same issue back in the day, and I replaced the fuse... although with a much kludgier way at the time, sort of clamping it down onto the old fuse. I should probably open it up and fix it properly... but it's also been rolling for 20 years, so go figure!
Also, my experience with the Sega CD (at least the Model 2, never had a Model 1!) and the Saturn are that the lasers are really, really good - far better than the PlayStation, especially with burned media.
Wow, nice vid man. 😊
Lucky, everytime I do same I get some crazy issue, I'd say 6 out 10 times that happens to me .... Awesome easy fix find!!!
Just wondering how you captured the sega cd . I have mine hooked up to an elgato hd and it doesn’t want to work .
You should get the game “Adventures of Willy Beamish” definitely worth it on the Sega CD
@Lou Sainis if only people knew... they would then understand my name
Sometimes a blown fuse can be a blessing. The fuse blows in 1994 and someone puts its in storage for 26yrs waiting for us to come by
Shoulda sent you mine but I gutted it and left my mega SG attached to it with the everdrive pro because it still looks badass. Not using the exact power adapter causes so many issues. CD Skipping, games not loading, desync, battery issues and blown fuse. Can’t use any genesis or 32X adapter, has to be the right one for the right model.
Also with the save battery you can leave the system on for a few hours and it'll recharge it after a while. But you can also buy a new rechargeable battery for it.
Okay, I gotta know. How'd you get that capture card working on Windows 10? It looks like a Chinese EasyCap and mine stopped working after some system update, and I can't figure out how to fix it...
Love these fix videos
I love the model 2 Sega CD. I have the extended that attaches to it so you can hook up the Model 1 Genesis to it, which is my preferred setup for this combo. Gen 2 isnt the premiere system in terms of visuals and sound.
it's specifically the early Model 2s and even late Model 1s that have the bad sound.
I remember when I bought an "untested" Sega CD on eBay expecting it to be busted.
I was shocked when it worked.
I actually got lucky at a pawn shop years ago, they had multiple non-working systems they let me have for ten bucks total. I walked out with an NES, a Gamecube, a PlayStation, and two XBOXes. Only one of the XBOX systems was dodgy, and the GC just needed a fix on the lid sensor.
I just ordered a sega cd yesterday. I hope it works, though it did say it was in working condition. If it doesn’t, I’ll look back at this video to see if that’s the case. This was really cool btw
Since then I finally got a fully assembled tower of power with a 3bp modded model 2 genesis & it looks great on my zenith CRT. I’m currently trying to fix a Sony PVM so that I can use my Scart cable for it, along with my newly acquired North American Sega Saturn. It’s unfortunate how not many people have checked the Saturn library because it’s quite enjoyable
Hey Spawnwave, the new Splinter Cell is going to be a Stadia Exclusive! Guess that automatically makes you a huge Stadia fanboy 😂
YAY another one saved from the scrap heap well done sir
But yeah, if you find a no-power SegaCD, easiest fix on the planet. Slap a new fuse in and enjoy that puppy.
I also bought one on eBay not working but I hooked it up and it worked just fine. Turns out the seller didn’t know it had a separate power supply to the main system 😂
great vid. how do you get the Sega cd to use your laptop screen?
so, i had TWO sega CD's ; I got one new on clearance for $100, my buddy gave me his old broken one for spare parts after his brother spilled something on his. Played great, played it for about 7 or 8 years, sold it on Ebay WITH the broken one for parts for about $70- in the original box, manuals, purchase reciept...my how things have gone up in value
I took a gamble with a Sega CD model 1 on Ebay earlier this year. And it worked right off the bat. The auction said untested, so it was a crap shoot. And a while back I got a Sega CDX for less than $200 that the seller said wouldn't play a Genesis cartridge or read discs. Well after cleaning with a q-tip and alcohol. It worked just fine and they go for pretty good money. lol
6:39 just for future videos, change your ISO on your camera so we can actually see in black on black/dark areas like underneath the CD lid. There wasnt enough contrast of colors/better lighting to see comfortably.
Yeah at first I thought I just had my settings too low, turned up my brightness to maximum still awful.
Brasso wadding works great on glossy plastic as long as the scratches aren't too deep.
Thanks for the video bro
I'm a big fan of resurrecting dead Segas from eBay - I hate seeing any dead electronic, especially ones I love.
I've seen consoles running away in these videos before so this wasn't so bad :D
Soldering has been good to me with retro console fixing... this honestly seems doable! I was thinking it would be much more in depth
Have a gen 1. Took a few minutes to get working after not being used for many years. Seemed like it needed to warm up or something. Managed to play Lunar on it.
I would love to know where you got your soldering equipment from. I’ve been looking into fixing old systems my self and modding.
you can buy them anywhere... local hardware store or automative store, local "radioshack like" store, ebay, amazon....lots of places
You can find them anywhere, what you’re looking for depends on what you’re looking to repair. If it’s through hole like this board, then you’re looking at something in the 25-90w range. Many repairers recommend a station, I’ve found a standard plug in iron and stand has done me well. (Been a service tech) You want a 1-3mm tip, conical is ok, but a flat angled one wll give you better contact. The bent tip ones are also useful. Anything bigger just makes it hard to access. And too some of the small ones 1mm end can be a bit fine for the bigger jobs. Pays to have a range of tips, 2-3 they don’t cost a lot. Solder sucker, solder wick, .7mm solder with rosen flux core. A stand for it so you don’t burn stuff. And tip cleaner, the steel wool ones are good, so are the wet sponge. If you’re getting into surface mount stuff then you’ll need decent flux as well. Out of China you’re looking at about $40-50USD as a basic starting point. The power of the iron will dictater what you can do with it, lower powered is find for most situations, if you have to get a heat sink off, then it can be a bit of a hassle.
love your vids
I have first edition segacd. It makes a bad noise at start up, but still works.
bought a sega cd a couple months ago which unfortunately also had a dead fuse. Mine was the more common board that had the fuse on the bottom rather than a through hole like yours, luckily I was able to replace it and got power again on it. Then I had another issue with the limit switch, unfortunately it was bent backwards so the laser would never know when it was in the center. Fortunately I was able to fix this by stuffing a heat shrinking tube behind it which keeps it in place. with all that work I was finally able to get it working normally, If you ever plan on getting a sega cd make sure you at least have some basic soldering experience. These guys are fragile units.
I still have my OG sega 2 and sega CD my family got when i was a kid. Still works great.
How did you get the screen to show up on a laptop or is that a flat screen tv with a keyboard in front of it?
My favourite console bar the Panasonic 3DO
Do you do requests my Super Nintendo needs place housing &do you have special screw driver to take replace housing how much will you charge to fix it?
love when i find treasures like this that are that easy, LOL sometimes not always as u know hahah love them
I have that shirt too! Also, I've had a Sega CDX for years, but I have no idea if it works because I don't have any hookups for it
If that's an early full-board model 2 Genny, you should do the mega amp mod.
Can't wait for the sega 32x repair
Dracula unleashed is one of my favorite point and click/FMV games!! The ending scene/battle has the best music/score in a game of its type. Enjoy!!!! Great Vid btw......
That music is still so freaking good
Today is a special day.. I turned on a light. Pretty much my life accomplishments these days!
Dark Wizard is my fave SEGA CD game
Didnt see that chunk of rust as you said 'no sign of water damage', huh? :P
Is that little board on top some sort of mod that had been done to it? I have seen revisions over the life of a model, but never with an entire board added.
Does a dish washer work to clean the plastics or does it get too hot
I bought a "broken" Sega CD as well, the only thing wrong with it was the 4 rubber shock mounts was basically mush which caused the CD to rub against the case.
He should have just called the SEGA hotline.
I wish i had your powers. I always have issues with old consoles. Any tips for fixing a noisy gamecube disc reader?
Love the shirt! Michaelangelo is the best.
The piece that holds the disc keeps falling off on mine. I have to be careful with it and keep opening and closing it to get the disc to spin without hitting.
I often find the contacts give me the most issues, some IPA and cotton swabs usually get me up and running.
Hey! I have a JVC ex-eye, the sega cd part doesn't spin the disk. The sega genesis part works, but I believe the spinner motor is dead. Do you know what I could do to fix it? When I put the CD in, it says put a disk in the tray
I bought a clean N64 from Ebay and it would give me a black screen about half the time I would turn it on. Turns out the jumper pack was going bad I got a replacement and it now works great.
Recently purchased a JVC X-EYE console. It powers on and genesis side works fine but the disc side doesn't spin. Only shudders slightly when turned on. Would you be interested in doing a teardown/ repair for your podcast?
Question for you. Hoping you or someone might be able to help. I just got back a Model 2 Sega Cd back from a mod/repair guy and he got everything up and running through capacitor replacement, cleaning, and even replaced the drive. I am only running into one issues since getting it back. All my games work on the system except one odd exception. Terminator won’t play the in game music. Just the Sound Effects. I have no idea why this is. The disk is in great shape. It works and plays on my Model 1 Sega Cd with both the Model 1 Genesis and a Mega SG. I tried both the Model 1 Genesis and the Mega SG with the Model 2 Sega Cd and it will not play the music from Terminator. If anyone knows why this might be, the help would be great.
Loved my megadrive when u had it but now have a modded snes mini with megadrive games on it.
What capture method did you use on your computer?
My Genesis looks different than yours has the controller ports off to the far right and has a red part of the top by the power light and looks longer. Will this also work with that kind of Sega CD?
@@dennisaylen813 thank you yeah I didn't realize that there was so many other revised version of the Genesis. I personally like the look of the one you have it looks much more modern styled lol
Awesome job
A Sega CD was given to us by a friend, & it had a problem turning on. It got like that from being slammed on all the time by that friend. One of the games we tried was The Terminator. Eventually, after many tries, it turned on. But that was it. It just happened to turn on that time. Guess it was like a hit-&-miss kind of thing. Really like your shirt by the way! 👍🙂
I love the SEGA CD version of The Terminator but the game is hard, I died multiple times because I keep getting killed by the HK-Tank.
Other than getting killed by the HK-Tank multiple times in the game I love the cutscenes and the music.
I managed to get a Sega 32x for my SMDII in the UK I loved the Star Wars game I had and Virtual Fighter. I did have a boxing game for it as well that was it but didn't get the chance to buy Sega CD
You should get a Trio AC adapter. It's awesome
One day I wanna get a Sega CD for my original Genesis I've got. Even if there aren't a whole lot of games for it, I still want it.
Me too, I have a 32x but no CD
Whats the name of the Adapter and where can u find one to conect a console with ur notebook
I hope someone can answer this because I'm interested as well. I'd love to be able to display my old consoles thru my laptop display but I don't know the name of what I'm looking for.
