pinto Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Okay, I fixed my atari after having it sit for 8 years. But the controlers won't work and I checked the connection so do I need new controlers or do I need to check the wiring in the box? I need help. email me: genaweb.alan@comcast.net Thanks, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_ Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Right, check the FAQ on how to clean the contacts in your controllers. Important to remember to pop off the bezel around the START PAUSE and RESET before unscrewing and seperating the case. Also, when you do seperate the case make sure the stick is as centered as you can get it. This makes it very easy to put back together because the analog pots will be in a good position. So don't move them while your cleaning the contacts. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
