We have just purchased an original model Genesis but there is a problem with it, when plugged in with game inserted no picture comes up the screen just is split in 2, horizontaly, the colors are black and whitish gray. It has the same problem when there is no game in but the power is on. Does anyone know how to fix this/know a website that shows instructions on how to fix this?Genesis Help!!!!!
Whare did you buy your Sega Genesis Genesis Help!!!!!
It sounds like a bad connection between the cartrige and the console. Check with other games, if it happens the same, maybe the cartrige slot pins are dirty, clean them up the following way. Use a credit card or other kind of plastic card and fold cofee filter paper over it, spray rubbing alcohol on the paper and insert it on the cartrige bay carefully, repeat this several times and let the alcohol evaporate before turning the console on. Also, clean the cartriges pins with a cotton swab and alcohol as well. Let everything dry and try it out. If the problem persist then it might something more serious. Go to Gamefaqs.com and look for hardware faqs on the Genesis section for further info.
i would guess its a connection issue to the TV or the back of the genesis. make sure you are using the correct power supply, the correct a/v hookups, and the game is clean. I have had my genesis since like 1993, and i've never had that problem. The issues ive had were due to the connection being bad in the back of the genesis or 32x most the time. Those little 9pin connectors can be tricky. but if you wiggle them til the connection is good, it usually fixes it.goodluck.
