Turns on, gets to the Copyright screen, then goes black and beeps.

I have a Sega Genesis II that when turned on will do it’s normal thing with the copyright screen, but then goes completely black no matter the game and beeps. It seems the amount of beeps changes between games. For example, if I put in Sonic 2, it never seems to stop beeping, but then on the contrary, if I put in Sonic Spinball it beeps like 2-3 times. Does anyone know what this issue could be? Thanks.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Are you using "known good" cartridges(cartridges that have been tested with another Genesis/Mega Drive)?

Yes, @andrewsawesome, this unit used to work just fine. These games also work in other systems too.
