Well, all the power cycles from testing out my battery mod, LCD screen mod and general everyday use have taken their toll on my poor Sega Nomad :( . I suppose It's not really surprising given the consoles age and all the abuse it's received since the mid 90's. But!, there is hope! :). In this video I show how to bring a seemingly dead and unresponsive console back to life. All you need to do is fit a new voltage regulator which is a very cheap and reasonably easy part to replace.
Original 2008 thread I found and got this information from (thanks to jb143)..
