The Sage of Sega Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hello, I'm asking this because I just tried to plug in a newly obtained VIC-20 unit with a cable I assumed would work. There was a flash of blue light, and needless to say, it didn't work . Did I fry something indefinetely, or was there a fuse in the unit to protect the computer from my idiocy? Also, if the unit didn't have a fuse, what would be the first component that would have been affected? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

But anyway, the manual says something about a Slo-Blo fuse, open it up and look for a Slo-Blo fuse. There might also be a chance you fried the fuse, so don't give up.

Susuwatari Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Did you use AV cable or RF modulator? If you used RF modulator and it's for TI-99 computer, then the modulator's most likely fried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sage of Sega Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 I was able to crack open the unit and find the fuse. Thanks a lot for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
