32x black Screen

[gravis31]

So i finally got a 32x for my genesis2, and it seems in good conition with all connectors and the new cover for the CD connector because i dont have a cd yet. Any, when ever i put in a game, Gen or 32x , the Produced under or by ....... text comes up and it goes to black and sits there. I am using a AV cable not RF. any suggestions? I don't want to have to take this thing back.

You've got a bad connection either between the Genesis and the 32X or the 32X and the cartridge. The Genesis is able to read the cart well enough to recognize 'SEGA' at address $100, but not well enough for the game to work. Try cleaning the contacts or just repeatedly inserting both units.

Also check that your power supply is actually good, a 32X having no/low voltage can cause cartridge read errors.

dissamble the 32x, remove all the white ribbon cables, clean and re-insert them.

I remember when my Gen2 <-> 32X cable was making poor contact, my colors were all messed up. I'd get yellow instead of blue, Sonic looked like he was always Super! 🙂
