elviticus Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Well, I just won a Channel F (cheap!) on E-bay.... but.... it seems to be DOA. I hooked it up, turned TV to channel 3, and I just get a blank green screen - and white noise from the TV speaker. Is there anything I'm missing, as far as set-up goes? If not, any way I might fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kialan Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 The model 1 channel F sound comes from the system, so that's why there's white noise on the TV. As for the green screen, it's been awhile since I hooked mine up but that sounds normal. Is there a letter in the center? Try pressing one of the number keys on the system to play the built in pong.

elviticus Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Well, No letter on the screen... and I can't get a game to play when I press the buttons... Just a green screen, and sometimes I get nonsense pixels randomly on the screen - this can't be good! I also tried a couple carts... I think I'd better contact the seller.

Ze_ro Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Did you try cleaning the connectors on the system and cartridges? A lot of earlier console systems did odd stuff like this when the contacts were dirty. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 No cart...Tennis and Hockey are built-in. So if you don't get a G?, it sounds like it's messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
