Hello all my name is Jabba from Kent. Many thanks for allowing me into your forum. I joined on a quest for information I hope I am posting in the right section. (Apologies if not and guidance to where i should be posting if I am in the wrong place!) I recently bought an Atari Stacy at an auction. i bought it on a whim as it looked pretty etc. It came on its own with no power pack so i tested is with a couple of universal laptop supplies i had. As soon as i flick the on switch of the Stacy both power supplies start to continuosly (yes i almost certainly spelt that wrong!) trip. I just wondered if there was a common known problem with these machines and if there is anyone out there with any guidence? The supplies i used were of the correct voltage but slightly over the amp mark although I am informed by the bloke at Maplins that it shouldnt be a problem. He seems to think there must be a short in the Stacy somewhere. Thanks Maplin man... Anyway, anyone with any ideas of guidence would be worshipped for many an hour at the alter of greatness for at least a day.... Best wishes all. Jabba
