I won a Ebay auction for a Sega Master System a while back and the thing just arrived today. And I think something is seriously wrong with it. First off I cant get it to work with the RF cable so after... I try the RF cable with my Genesis and it works. So its not my tv or the cable. So then I think might as well give the RV cable a try. So i do and it comes on.. So I start playing some of my games. and Somethings wrong I just cant put my finger on it. Then I figure it out the colors are not displaying correctly. White is sometimes black and blue is sometimes black. oh and the RF plug goes in very hard. I am just hoping that someone knows whats going on and knows how to fix it. dont have much experience with Sega Master Systems, I never had one as a kid |

Buy one of these AV cables. It will give you a better picture and will work with Master System. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-AV-AUDIO-VIDEO-CABLE-FOR-SEGA-GENESIS-1-RCA-/390404633497?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item5ae5edf399 |

What a coincidence I bought a Master System from Ebay a few days ago as well ^^ Unfortunately doesn't have any wires so I have to wait for those to arrive. Any wire types you would recommend. |

The internal RF modulator might just be toast, or it may be slightly broken off from the board. Since it's so hard to insert eh cable, something tells me that it's the latter of those 2 issues. Sega consoles often seem to have issues with crummy caps. Can anyone confirm that this is a known issue with the Master System? If so, that might be your issue. |
