What's wrong with your one? Dead as a doornail, it's not the PSU it's something dead on the board, it's been sat in a box for years now so I can't really recall the results of my multi-meter bumbling.

NeoGeoNinja - there are black, white and skeleton Tec Toy SATURNs. I'm sitting here with one as we speak - it has Tec Toy printed on the bottom and the plastics have Portuguese moulded into them.
Mick - let me know if you'd like me to take a look sometime... although I've got a lot on my plate (well.. workbench!) at the moment.

I had never heard of these before. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised though, given Tec Toy and SEGA's history down Brazil way. Cheers for the info.

I didn't know about the Tec Toy Saturns either. Interesting stuff.
What region does Brazil fall under for the consoles, anyway? Are they PAL?

Been a while since I used it but I'm pretty sure I was playing US games on it...

Yep, only compatible with US games, but the video standard is PAL-M. According to wikipedia: "PAL-M signals are identical to North American NTSC signals, except for the encoding of the colour carrier. Therefore PAL-M will display in monochrome with sound on an NTSC set and vice versa. PAL-M is incompatible with 625-line based versions of PAL, because its frame rate, scan line, colour subcarrier and sound carrier specifications are different. It will therefore usually give a rolling and/or squashed monochrome picture with no sound on a native European PAL television, as do NTSC signals." So, NTSC with a little bit of modification

Ah that explains it, I also remember my old finlux TV having a lot of trouble with the video output and having to use it on my little hitachi 14" through RF
