I'm quite new to the world of NES/Famicom collecting and I hate that my first post (hopefully the first of many more) here is for help with a Disc system issue   I recently started a NES blog (theres a link in my sig and I try to update regular) and to make it more interesting decided to get my hands on a Twin Famicom.

It worked fine for a few days when the power convertor I had blew up   Much scratching of my head and pestering many folks around the net I managed to get it working again with a DC Universal plug. Or so I thought.....

When I insert a disc it clunks twice and then I get a Battery Err 02 message. Which means the batteries are dead. Except its a Twin Famicom so there isnt any batteries. Any ideas? I think it must be getting power to the drive as it wouldn't clunk to try and access it. Does the same no matter what game I use. However it was working just fine before the power outtage the other day and I can still play cart games without issue.

I think I am. Its a Universal one running at 9 volts. I had an issue a couple of weeks back where the Japanese Power convertor died on me (I'm in the UK so need a special adaptor) so the only thing I could try was a DC universal adaptor. I checked various places on the net and was told it should be safe enough.

Thanks  I've just ordered a new convertor from eBay so fingers crossed that will work.
