I bought a megadrive 1 for some nostalgia - when it arrived it worked fine for about 10 minutes... then suddenly the picture went all pixellated and the colours inverted and skewed up.

Ive done all the usual retro stuff we used to do years ago - e.g. blowing into the games and console... and its DEFINITELY the console as its doing it to all games - the cartidges work fine.

Help!

new console mate? ive just bought one myself and nothin like this has happened even when ive struggled to get some of the cart in and out! i assume all the connections have been checked?

Could be a dodgy power supply - got a chipped Megadrive 1 with RGB SCART and 50/60 switch (worth every penny) and the graphics would screw up and the game would crash on boot up. New power supply sorted it out.
