SEGA CD HELP PLEASE

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.classic (More info?)

I found an original Sega CD add on ( the one that goes on the bottom of
the original genesis), and i can't get it to work. I have them both
plugged in, I have the genesis connected to the sega cd, shouldn't the
sega CD come on if there is no cartridge in the genesis?

Well, thanks for everyone for your suggestions. Yes, I used the Genesis
power supply on it.

I cleaned the connectors with both a pencil eraser and alcohol, and
indeed it was FILTHY.. real filthy.

However, it still doesn't work. No lights, no nothing. Looks like I
bought a lemon. Total damage (with the genesis): $25.
