This really isnt much of a problem as the system works fine, but the power button is always fixed on the "on" position, so in order to turn it off, I need to cut the power. The button itself doesnt feel like its "clicking", and i can hear something rattling around inside the system when i pick it up, which makes me think perhaps the button itself is offset. Any way I can fix this without opening the system up?
Im afraid not it sounds like the switch has broken free from the small circuit board its attatched to so even if you opened it up you would not fix it unless you was any good at soldering with a fine soldering iron, you will be a lot better off leaving it as it is,

It's the Saturn's equivalent of a PC's CMOS battery, and it has gone bad.
The battery is the ubiquitous CR2032, and can be found at the jewelry/watch counter at Wal-Mart, as well as just about any local hardware store!
Here's how to replace:

Have you cleaned the Sega? What I mean is where the casset game goes. Push down the little flap, and there should be a little strip with contacts on the inside. Just clean it with a cotton swab and alcohol. And also, clean all your games also the same way.
Hope this helps.

Uh... what kind of tv cord are you using? Does it hook up to the cable or is it just the Comp. Video? (Red, white, and yellow plugs) If it hooks up to the cable than the RF unit(a.k.a.-the tv cable) is probably shot; buy a new cable (you can find them on ebay). If it's the other one, it still may be broken, but it's less likely. Just try replacing the TV cable and if that doesn't work, just buy a new system.

It sounds like a battery issue replace the batteries.Plug it in to the wall if you have a plug in.

This could be a situation where the Laser Lens voltage is off and it is not reading CDs. I have had this before.
You will have to take your case off, and look for a little orange "screw" or "dial" which is just above the cable that connects the laser assembly to the circuit board. It might have a Philips head looking top.
Make sure the system is off and unplugged before doing this.
Turn the orange screw approx 35 degrees clockwise, and the reassemble the system. This should give the laser enough juice to start reading the discs again.
If this is not the solution, it is possible your clock battery is dead. Buy a new CR2032 3Volt battery from wal-mart or your local watch store, and pop it into your top right (on the back of the system) compartment to fix this.
Good Luck!
