+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Green Light? Far as I know all Atari systems have used Red LEDs for the power indicator since Red is the cheapest to buy. As for the unit being dead, I would of course suspect the power supply first. Getting a new power supply could run you almost as much as a 7800 on ebay would! If you can't find one used anywhere, then it is fairly easy to modify the power connection on a 7800 to use something more standard, like a 3.5mm barrel jack like the ones used for the Model 1 Genesis and Sega CD units. Plus the PS to a model 1 Genesis and Sega CD are about as close to the specs of the 7800 PS as your gonna get. Let us know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelen Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 all pal atari 7800's and jaguars have a green led. I think you could take a look if the 7805 above the cart slot is working thelen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Thelen, Really!? I didn't know about the different colored LEDs used on the Pal models. Learn something new everyday I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOP Posted August 17, 2002 Author Share Posted August 17, 2002 THANKX FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES ON THE 7800. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE PSU IS WORKING FINE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE LED IS GREEN OR RED (I DON'T REALLY CARE EITHER) AS IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE SEEN IT WORKING I'VE FORGOTTEN! ANY MORE CLUES?
