5200 Green Screen

Ok, I have basically the same problem with my 4-port, and I registered here just to get some help. The only difference seems to be that I get an orange screen. I have cleaned the contacts but every game is giving me the same orange screen. Is there any help for these kind of issues in a FAQ, or would somebody mind explaining the process to people like me who aren't experienced in gutting a board and replacing / re-socketing chips?

Somebody please help me

Please, guys. I am not an experienced technical person. Would someone please explain the whole process to me?

 

I find it odd that you have the same problem with 2 systems....

 

Try cleaning the contacts on the game carts with alcohol and a qtip.

 

If that doesnt work, snipe a 2 port from ebay for as little money as possible.

Theres something about 5200s that breaks and isnt easy to fix.

 

I've got two dead 5200 motherboards here that have had all the vlsi chips swapped out and the regulators replaced, but still wont run. :(

 

I think the soft-on power section of these things is often the culprit. Looking at the schematic posted here at AA it looks like there are a lot of places in that circuit for things to go wrong.
