dusterboy Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Hmmm.. so I turned 30 a few days ago, and went to the parents house dug the two Atari 2600 systems I had (actually they where Sears Tele Systems) dug the 50 odd games I have out took it home... plugged it in - nothin'! Got a new power adapter @ radio shack old one looked bad, tested it and was half-a** workin'. Still nothin'! When I turn it on (both of them) I get no picture just a static on the screen. When I flip the adapter to television the TV works fine... anyone? help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Things to check for: *Clean your cartridge connectors with a Qtip. *Power Adapter should be 9v 500ma Polarity: Tip (+) outter (-). You could also use any power adapter that is able to output 9v with 500-1000ma Tip (+). *Change channels, try 2,3 or 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtahank Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Depends on your type of TV as well. I have a Sony Trinitron that has to be on fixed channel 4 so cable will work. When I play Atari, I have to flip the switch from cable to game and also turn off the fixed channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
