Colecovision player one port problem..

[Armonigann]

Hey guys, I've got a Colecovision with a port problem. The first port just automatically goes down when gameplay starts and the keypads 1,3,5 and few others don't work . (keypad/controller not the prob(been tested)

When I plug in player 2 everything w/ player 2 is fine.

 

Player one still goes down constantly.

 

I've done a little research but have not found too much on the topic.

Can someone possibly link me to a walkthrough on how to fix the port? I know theres a fix if player one automatically goes left and starts automatically as well(got another console w/ this problem ), but can't find anything w/ what my prob is.

 

Contacts, ports have been cleaned so I also know thats not the issue..

 

Any links, suggestions would be greatly appriciated..

IM sent. I just replaced the controller chip on several of my ColecoVision units and am offering this as a service. Here is my thread.
