I'm trying to connect my sega mega drive 1 to my hd tv, I bought a yellow/white av tv cable and have tried plugging that into the tv and put a scart converter on and both times it comes up with a black screen. sega seems to be working, red light on, tried different cartridges. i'm not very technical so any help would be great. i dont have the rf cable and my tv wont let me manually scan for analogue channels anyway. thanks
If your screen is black and you unplug the cable from the megadrive , does the screen go blue ? if so the machine is sending out an a/v signal to the tv and your problem lies with the game cartridge contacts being dirty or the contacts in the slot on the console being dirty , try cleaning the contact strip with some electrical contact cleaner on a cotton bud or small paint brush , hope this helps ,its saved loads of my games

SOURCE: my sega flashes on screen but wont come on
Video game cartridge terminals and the console connector pin require servicing similar to this service.
Please let me know how I may assist further.

Are you sure it should be on channel 3? Not a TV input mode? Also it could be that the console is shot. Or the cables don't work with the console itself.
