Can't access blue menu on My Colecovision

[Fabrice Labrousse]

Hi there.

 

I have some trouble with my Colecovision.

The blue menu that starts before each game, displays in a flash and the games follows on by itself without the possibility of selectionning any starting option.

Any game works fine, but the blue menu in not accessible.

Would it be the ROM ?

try without controllers plugged in, see what happens.  Could be the controllers, but probably the chips that handle the controllers.

you need to replace your joystick controller chips: here is the parts.

Unbelievable ! I did not do anything and it works again... What happened ? The Controllers were well plugged... I even changed them... and now it suddenly works again.
