Ridenmy65 Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I just hooked up my 4-port 5200 for the first time last night and I am getting a blue screen on all of the games that I have. (6) I was reading some of the threads on here to see if I can troubleshoot on my own but to no avail. I don't beleive its the switchbox because I am getting a good "switching" or "clicking" sound when I hit the power button on the unit. The light comes on just fine. I have tried both channels and am getting the same blue screen on both when I switch the channel selector. What am I missing???????

DanBoris Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Do you have one of those TV's that switched to a blue screen when it doesn't get a signal? If this is the case then it's likely that you are not actually getting a signel from the 5200 to the TV. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out to be the 5200, GTIA chips in sockets can usually cause this also. I've had my 1450XLD do this a few times from corrosion buildup on the sockets on the graphic chips. Just my 2 cents.
