dustye Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I got a 5200(2 controller port) from my uncle and some games, Dig Dug, Pacman Ms Pacman, Robotron 2084, Breakout and Qbert. he gave me some 2600 controllers and the paddle controllers, but no 5200 controllers. i bought a RCA Phono Plug to F Jack adapter, and it interrupts the tv channel when i turn it on but no picture, any thoughts on why this would be? maybe the connectors were the cartridge goes are really dirty and not connecting?

opeygon Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) cleaning would be a good place to start. also, i think some (if not all) have a channel select switch on the console. i think mine has a circle on one side, and a square on the other. each figure is for a different channel on the tv. i'd try that first too. oh ya, the rca to f adapter should work Edited June 4, 2008 by opeygon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustye Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 i tried both square and circle, on channels 1-4 on different tvs and doesn't work. i cleaned it but still nothing... sometimes when i go up or down a channel it gets a staticy green thing in the middle. so i have no idea.

BydoEmpire Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 The red light should come on when you press the power button (at least, it does on my 2 port). No idea what might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 sorry for the no response been working a lot lately, the power light comes on, idk whats wrong with it i have almost given up Download the 5200 Field Service manual from this page. http://www.atariguide.com/help/care.htm It gives a walk through of problems and what to replace. Even if your not able to solder at least you may figure out what is wrong. What are you seeing on the screen? Are you seeing a green screen or a black screen or are you getting no signal at all?
