Rob Mitchell Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I think I just zapped my 800XL .. I was pulling out my Robotron cart and I felt a static discharge .. and now no picture from my Atari! This is the second 800XL I have killed in four years! I'll check it out with a monitor later .. but I still have a working Atari 800 and XE system .. Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 Ok .. I did not touch the 800XL until this afternoon .. when I reconnected it up to the TV .. and then I touched copper water lines nearby to ground myself and discharge any static .. and then I fired up the 800XL .. and it works! So I didn't kill it last night .. I just stunned it! I'm gonna be more careful every time from now! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
