AtariLeaf Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I tried a couple units and it seems even a slight bump will freeze a game whether its 2600 or 7800 carts My 2600s dont do that. You could wiggle them to death and they'd be fine. Are 7800 card slots just sensitive? They play fine as long as I dont bump the unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 The cartridge port might need cleaning. I had the same problem with my 5200 consoles, until I gave the pins in the cartridge port a good scrub. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 I sprayed some deoxit in my main unit and it seems to be better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lendorien Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Definitely dirty contacts. Deoxit for the win! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
