  Doesn't a gamebox require a Arcade Cabinet or supergun?
  
  
  
  OR did you get the TV version one?

  Hey, it is the one that looks like a small PS2 with a cheap looking ps2 style controller. It is definetly a TV version and has R/W/Y outputs on the back.
  
  
  
  Just an update.. I opened the box up and there is a spring over/soldered to a section that says "reset" and then on the opposite side, there are two small holes with metal around them and it says "power" under it. This one does not have a spring on it but looks like it did at one point. The thing that is confusing for me is that these springs do not connect to a button or anything. The case is totally smooth!
  
  
  
  Any ideas??
  
  
  
  Thanks

  I've never owned one of these, do you have pictures, so I can do some research?
  
  
  
  I found one below, which is a gamebox in a controller.

  Okay, by your descriptions, it sounds like your power button broke, you'll probably find the spring or pieces inside the unit.
  
  
  
  If you either solder a new power switch or potentially bridge the two points (I would wait to do this last part until I see pictures), so that the power is always on when plugged in.
