Superjenn Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Hi, guys. I thought there was a problem with my joystick controllers, because I couldn't move UP in any games (which is okay if you're playing Enduro or Phoenix, but...). However, I just checked out the FAQ and half-educated myself about the pinout thing. And the problem isn't the joystick; the problem is the little plug on the console where you plug in a joystick. Whatzit. About fixing it: is this a deeper, scarier problem and I should just get a new Atari? Or, is there some way to, I don't know, blow dust out and improve my connection between the console and the joystick? What do I do? What do I do?

Superjenn Posted July 26, 2001 Author Share Posted July 26, 2001 Oh, I just realized Chazbeenhead or whoever is having the same kind of pinout problem. Well, I looked at the pins, and none of them seem to be bent or broken. Can I safely swab them with alcohol? Should I do a voodoo chant over them?
