He checked the board and power was appropriately present. Easy fix - soldier a SPST switch - one end to Pin 18 of cart. slot, the other end to ground. Plug a cartridge in and flip switch and you are set. Repairing power supplies: If you have a dead power supply, there is a fuse in it. Remove the screw on the bottom and then check the fuse. Oftentimes, the insulation on the cord cracks where it goes into the power supply. Easy fix - open the power supply, disconnect the cord wires, cut the wires, strip off some insulation, reconnect them and then change the fuse. The 4-port power supply (CO18187 - 9.3V DC@1.95 amp) has 2 screws on the bottom allowing easy access. The fuse is on a board inside. The fuse is 5A 250V slow blow (Radio Shack part #: 270-1027) and is easy to change. The 2-port PS (CO18187 Model #: DV-9319-A - 11.5V DC@1.95 amp) does not have visible screws for access. A good guess is that they are hidden under the rubber feet on the bottow. It is assumed that the fuse is similar. . Back to Table of Contents
