I purchased an original Famicom from japan (ebay) two weeks ago.
Today I received the package and connected it to my tube tv.
As I currently live in europe and original power brick is AC100v input, I plugged it in with my Super Nintendo power brick which has similar specs (9-9.4v output) but it didnt work.
I decided to use my Sega Genesis 1 power brick, which has the same output as the original one (10v)
The console worked fine, as I was testing several cartridges, until after 5-10 min I turned it off, changed game and turned on, to get a black screen. Then the previously tested (working) games also gave me the black screen.
The tv seems to react when I turn the power on, the black screen moves a bit.
I don't know if i messed it up when i connected the SNES power brick, as the plug might be different than the original one... But in this case, shouldn't it have stopped working right away?
Anyway, if you have any suggestions on how to proceed into this please enlighten me.
