Blackgear Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi all. My 2nd light sixer, a Sunnyvale this time, arrived at home. It is affected by black screen problem. So I used the psu of the first 2600 I own, which works perfectly. Nothing changed. I've put the sunnyvale's TIA on the working 2600.. Black screen on it. Placed the working 2600 Tia on the Sunnyvale.. Black screen. Sometimes shows colored vertical lines. I've try to Reinsert the CPU and the other chip.. Nothing. The voltage regulator put its 5v on the board, and 5v arrive on the connector of the shielded board too. Suggestions? May I swap all chips from the working 2600 to the Sunnyvale?

Osgeld Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yes you can swap my money is on the cup along with the tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackgear Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yes! It works! Only with all chips from the working one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masschamber Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I agree with osgeld the cpu is probably bad. I've had quite a few bad cpus in 2600s but no bad tias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackgear Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Can I use chipset from other versions like long/short rainbow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 yes they are all the same for the most part (as long as your not mixing regions on the TIA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackgear Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Damn, I've see that both junior version have chips soldered directly to the board. These are the cheaper versions of 2600 I can find on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackgear Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Yes it was the CPU. I've swapped all chips one by one and the result was a faulty CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 looking on ebay there's a few listed as being in the US from 7-13 dollars and a bunch from china for less https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=6507+cpu&_sacat=0&LH_PrefLoc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
