			Problem with MEGA CD , it's burning !! Hello everybody, excuse me for my bad english. I will try to explain my problem. I've got a Mega-CD 1 JAP, and when I plug my Megadrive and I power on, it starts to "burn"!! there is a smoke and I shut down immediately.. See in the picture, it is in the "sub bd" near the heatsink: (number 14).. [attachmentid=1857] I hope somebody can help me! Can I fix it? and how??

			Problem with MEGA CD , it's burning !! It was the first time that you plug the Mega-CD to your megadrive? I don't know the Mega-CD System, but... your MegaDrive is 220v or 110v? Your Mega-CD should be 110v(Japan). Perhaps you have differents voltages...so you blow up the power capacitor of the Mega-CD. What electronic parts do you see damaged? Good luck

			Problem with MEGA CD , it's burning !! Thanks for your response! But I have already solved the problem! I soldered the part that was damaged, and it works well now.. I think it was the humidity, or something like that, because the "components" are very very close... And no, it was not the first time that I plug my MD and MCD, and it is two Japanese systems, there is no problem. Thank you for helping me anyway, I thought my dear MCD was dead!
