help please with dc hardware

[prometheus818]

OK this has nothing to do at all with pso but instead with my dreamcast. i had it on earlier today and i left to go get some food ( yum http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif ) and when i got back none of my controllers were working and all the VMUs were off so i switched off the game and turned it back on and i tried switching around the controllers and that didnt work. can anyone tell me what is wrong because the sega people dont handle them anymore? much thanks to whoever can help me

i have yet to experience this with my dc controllers or vmu's
if no vmu is on, then seem like the controller has no power in

check the ports for dirt & such..
also, knowing the age of the items.. too old means gettting new ones to replace?

The DC was somewhat notorious for blowing its controller ports. You have to be really careful not to plug/unplug your controllers while the system is on.

An old PSO friend of mine went through at least three DCs because of this. I hope that's not what happened to you. :x

Good luck.
