sega saturn doesnt boot?

i have an white jap sega saturn i bought second hand.
There's no start animation with bootup sound, it just shows the Saturn logo (as if I had pressed Start to skip the animation) and then freeze. I can reach the time and date if i take out the battery.


I really have no clue what could be wrong?
 
Well my friend, if you've bought it second hand, there could many problems with it since you don't know the history of the console. Like, it could have been dropped or something by a previous abusive owner? I have ten PAL sega saturns i have collected over the years. One don't work at all, a couple will only play music CDs, some of the ones that have mod boards installed do weird things from time to time and the only one that works hassle free 100% of the time is the one i bought brand new that has no mod board installed.

Sorry, i know that don't help much. Sometimes you can find new (in box) saturns on ebay. I guess it all gets down to $$$.
