Dreamcast resetting...

Message #12094 of 15957 |

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has a solution for both of my Dreamcasts
that keep resetting. When they reset the screen goes black for a veriable
length of time the it reboots with the white swirl screen. I have heard about
bending the six contacts insie but it doesn't seem to work for me, any other
solutions?

Thanks...

Ah yes, the dreaded resetting disease. If you observe at the 6 pins (with the power board disconected) you may see a black residue, causing conection problems ...	K.Young sir_janken	Nov 2, 2003 11:48 am
