This might be a dumb question, but is the AC adapter for your SegaCD working? If it is, the interface on your Genny might be bad - one of mine was funky funky funky. Cleaning the card/slot might help too.

my gen connector has about a 1 of grey stuff all over it thats probally the problem does the unit need a genesis to power up though

the segacd only powers up if a genesis is a) connected and b) as full, good contact to the side connector. in other words, if your connector is dirty, it won't power up.
