AtariMan1976 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thanks to all those that helped me in a previous post. I had mentioned that my 5200, which i had bought off ebay mint in box and complete, wasnt working. The problem was, when turned on, the sound was normal but the video was bad. There were objects and characters such as letters, dollar signs and numbers in places where they werent supposed to be. A few people mentioned it could be the GTIA or the Antic chip. Best Electronics even suggested it could be the 6502 CPU. They said if i ordered all three chips, i would have a 95% probability of correcting the problem. The other day i got lucky and found these chips and started swapping out till i found the right one. Turns out, it was the CO12296 Antic. Everything is running normal now. Again, thanks to all those that helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
