Sega Dreamcast Controller Port Kit (Non-Rechargeable Battery)
Bring your Sega Dreamcast back to life with this repair and upgrade kit, designed to fix dead controller ports or resolve the date/time prompt issue caused by a dead battery. If you're tired of struggling to find or replace the expensive and hard-to-find rechargeable battery, this kit offers a convenient solution by allowing you to use a non-rechargeable coin cell battery instead, with the help of a blocking diode.
Kit Includes:
- 1x Resettable Fuse
- 1x Capacitor
- 1x Battery Holder
- 1x Blocking Diode
Features:
✔ Resettable Fuse – 72V 400mA fuse, an upgrade over the original design. This fuse automatically resets after a power cycle (turning the Dreamcast off and on again). The fuse is typically the culprit for dead controller ports.
✔ Capacitor – The included 47uF 10V capacitor ensures a consistent flow of electricity to the controller board components. It's a good idea to replace the capacitor during repairs as capacitors degrade over time. A bad capacitor may also cause the fuse to trip.
✔ Battery Holder – The stock CMOS battery requires soldering to replace, but this kit upgrades your console with a battery holder for easy future replacements without the need for soldering. Battery not included.
✔ Blocking Diode – Schottky diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, preventing the Dreamcast from trying to recharge the non-rechargeable battery. The diode is installed in conjunction with the existing resistor on the board.
