Sega Saturn Power Button Replacement
Follow this guide if you want to replace the power button on your Sega Saturn. This guide is almost a carbon copy of replacing the Power Supply Board with a few extra steps. So, before you begin disassembling: I advise getting the detailed tools together, as the screws on the Power Supply Board have bad plastic sockets and a Standoff screwdriver really helps get those rigid screws in and out. The toughest part of this guide will be removing the Power Supply Board, as the last thing holding it in place are pins directly from the motherboard. Breaking those can lead to replacing two parts of the Sega Saturn, and it doesn’t help that it takes a good amount of force to unplug the pins either… Just take your time on that step and this repair should go fine.
