Dreamcast won't power On anymore

Post by Jongamer »

Ok I had Sucesfully Wired 4 LED to the Controller ports, I forgot to switch from the 3.3v line to the 12v line, I had all 4 LED running and the Dreamcast Running on the 3.3v line, but something happened (No spark or anything) and now I cant get the Dreamcast to even power on anymore.

I ripped out the LEDs to see if that was the problem and left it unplugged over night, and all I got was a Dimmed flicker from the LED this morning when I plugged it in?

Is my PSU blown?
