The megadrive is working perfectly again,so this vid is no longer needed,ill just leave it on for no particular reason

Okay, after a bit of websearching, this might be like a short between the power jack and the RF jack, i think it will be solved if i get a Composite/RGB cable that goes into the AV OUT jack

hoping it will work =D

did you ever get this sorted?

@GameStarUK06 Yes, i plugged it in yesterday and it worked again,played it for 3 hours straight and it worked just fine :D

LOL it's almost funny when it starts going in timing almost. I'm guessing bad capacitor in the video system somewhere. Since you heard a poping noise. I mean if it was just a solder joint I would think it would have stopped working completely but I guess it could be. I'm not %100 sure really I would post the vid and question on sega-16.com that's where all the experts are!

I opened it sometime ago and apart from a lot of dust, the caps were all bend, put them straight up,and it still happened, so

My Mega Drive has gone down with muted sounds in some games, most notably Golden Axe & The Smurfs. It is at a nearby computer shop atm for repairs, but while on the job, they've found that the system can sometimes crash after long gameplay periods! I hope they can put it right... :(

They even said they'd compare how the games I loaned to them played on their MEGA PC to how they played on that MK1 Mega Drive o mine! :)

@GameStarUK06

nope, its still happening

might be the power supply, as it [the power brick] buzzes if i put it into a wall outlet
