Dreamcast doesnt turn on

[Hiroshirou]

well i got this dc from my cousin and it doesnt even work, but gave it to me anyways

when i plug it in and everything

i turn on the power button, and the light goes on for 1 seconds.. then fades out..

so nothing just happens, it does this everytime...... i figure i only need to replace the power board?

Humm if your dc powers off then i guess the power board is damaged, i don't think that it can be the fuse or else it wouldn't even power on.

But if your dc resets each time it is powered on, then i guess the connectors located on the power board must be cleaned with a thin cotton and alcohol

You could first see if the problem is related with the fuse, or the connectors before thinking of buying another power board :lol:
