[HELP] Sega master system 2 won't power on

My uncle gave me two SEGA MASTER SYSTEMS 2.
Both of them won't power on or show any signal. Is there any way to diagnose the problem? Thanks
[EDIT] I realised that if I remove the power thingy's coller, it gets hot, wich means that tghe system is not 100% dead. Or I think so

[HELP] Sega master system 2 won't power on

Yes there are ways to diagnose the Master System II.
A good starting point is to confirm that the external power supply and TV are good before diving into the Master System console itself.
Do you have a multimeter to confirm that the power supply is providing 9 Volts DC?
For the TV, how are you connecting the Master System to it and have you tuned in the signal?

sadly no, I don't have a multimeter. I am going to get one soon. will a prety cheap model be ok since I dont want 100% accuracy? Also I have tried 3 TVs and they all support analog signal. I don't use the original sega power supply because mine is broken, so I use another 220V AC to 9V DC

Check the power supply polarity, correct one is indicated on the SMS near the DC IN socket.

So I went out and bought some new voltage regulators because I think mine are broken (I will get a multimeter soon so I can test them)
