Fushek Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 My brother plays the trombone. I'll see if he's available to play taps for the burial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar G. Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Sorry to hear that... It was such a great game... You could play Deadly Dogs while waiting for your replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Sorry to hear that... It was such a great game... You could play Deadly Dogs while waiting for your replacement. Hehe. I have an extra, if you need a replacement I'm likely to have another secured in the SUG. Just have to do the autopsy ... er ... variant uniqueness check before the installation of the successor to the throne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Its "just" Tron this time, just imagine if Spiker stops working some day... Moments like this are horrible for me, because I spend hundreds of Dollar for games that could stop working every day. I guess you stored and treated your game with care, so its really bad that it stoped working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) That's the ironic part. Tron was living in gentle comfort, while all of his distant cousins from the slums are hale and hardy, working just fine. I think this one may be a surface mount, since the cartridge shell is one of the kinds without screws.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I had an Intellivision Inc Mr Basic that arrived in a crushed cart case. I broke open the plastic case, pulled out the PCB, and slid the bare PCB directly into a console and the damn thing worked. I heated up the old shell with a hair dryer and carefully removed the label. I was all ready to place the working PCB and cart label on a new shell borrowed from a Sub Hunt, but apparently the PCBs that came in the screwless shells didn't fit in the ones with screws, so I never completed the transplant. The point is that it wasn't dead yet. Never say never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinju Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thats a bummer, I got a Dracula and a Fathom that no longer boot. I have tried all I know and still no dice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Oh, that fathom has got to hurt. The worst problem with the Imagic carts is that to open them up you have to ruin the label. It's possible that a solder point has cracked and that re-flowing the solder points could fix it. The Tron cart is one of those 'no screws for you' shells, and I can't recall how to get those to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
