Dr Galaga Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 The strangest thing just started to happen. I was going to play Cosmic Ark and some of the sound was missing (big ship flying down, alert when it is time to leave), I could hear faint clicks when the sound was suppose to be there. I then put in Pitfall and the jumping noise is gone (getting hit with barrel sound still there). I totally powered it down and unplugged everything, started it back up and it's still the same. I hooked up my ugly/dirty console and the games work normally. I even cleaned the contacts on the carts. What is wrong? Is an IC going bad?

Atariman Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 As a nearly completely uneducated guess, I'd say it's a bad I.C.... dunno. Ask the friendly folks at Best Electronics. They can usually tell you what part it is (I've never had something that they couldn't diagnose). Their website is www.best-electronics-ca.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Galaga Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 UPDATE: Best Electronics said that this problem could be: Bad TIA chip, and/or Bad audio transistor, and/or 2 bad capacitors next to the audio transistor I went ahead and changed all three things and it's fixed!
