AtariAdventurer1021 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I recently bought a new atari 2600. It worked fine at first however I would occasionally have to jiggle the rf box in order to receive better video quality. A day or two later I turn on the atari and the sound was not playing. I tried buying a new coax adapter, but they didn't have the rca female to coax male so instead I bought an rca female to coax female and a coax male to cook male. I connected them together and the video worked, but the sound still does not play. I What is the problem and is it fixable? If so, then how?

toiletunes Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Very important - try using a different TV, preferably a CRT. If this doesn't work, proceed to step two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Most likely the TIA chip needs to be replaced or resoldered. When you take apart the system. Unscrew and take out the RF shielding. The bottom chip is the TIA chip. That produces the sound capabilities on the 2600. Is it loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
