stringfellow Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Well I was wanting to play Frenzy so I fire up the colecovision and all the colors are dim. I tried a few other games with no luck. What do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightywiz Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 couple different things, check all cables are snuggly connected. turn the color up in your tv settings. If the colors are just gone then open the cartridge slot with your finger and look at the little capacitor on the right of the slot and make sure it's not damaged. it looks like a disc about 1/4" in size and has 2 legs connecting it to the circuit board. I've had a couple that were damaged from just inserting the cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Maybe these might help? http://www.colecovisionzone.com/page/coleco%20industries/tech.html http://drushel.cwru.edu/schematics/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringfellow Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 so far it looks like I might need a new rf cable. Hoping that is nothing more serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringfellow Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 well it is not the cable. the rf jack may be a little loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
