INTV123 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 i got an intv 3 that only outputs a black screen. tried replacing the transistors, cleaning the cartage port, re seating the chips, etc. one of the ram chips was backwards, and after fixing that it sorta did something... well still a black screen, but when the reset button is pushed or cartage moved around, sometimes dots or lines appear for a moment on the tv. i think its the cpu, but i'm not too sure. was hoping someone here can help me.

+KylJoy Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I don't have a direct fix for your issue. But if you have another INTV console you can swap parts from the "bad" unit into the "good" unit to see which ones keep the "good" unit from working. This may require socketing ICs in one or both of the consoles. A lot of work, but it can be fun to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
