Sorry for being late in replying. I tried that and it did worked! I would have never had imagined it myself. Thanks so much!!

Ok, will try tonight. Thanks

Hi, I got an Atari gamestation pro a couple of weeks ago. It's great but I'd like to use it mostly to play a lot of games from my SD card. I've formatted it a few times already but it's never recognized by the system. I've formatted it in FAT32, all combinations for allocation blocks possible. Also exFAT (just in case it worked) but nothing. I've used "Guiformat" and "SD card formatter". Also windows formatting. The SD card is a 16GB Sandisk which works fine elsewhere. No need to say I've also created the "games" and "states" folders. Any ideas?

Sorry. Just edited the topic. It's a Gamestation Pro. I bought both and got confused with the names.

You were so right. It is a Rev. 3 (I don't know where I got it was a Rev. 6 from lol). I just soldered the wire onto the scanlines pad and it works and shows scanlines perfect now. Thanks so much!

OK, Will give it a go this evening and let you know. Thanks very much.

Hi! Got this kit a few days ago from Zedlabz. Being version 6 it's got not a "backlight" pin at the rear to solder the scanlines wire to. Instead there's a "brightness" pin in the same location. I was told by the guys at Zedlabz to solder the wire here. I installed everything and soldered the wire both ends (the other end fourth upper pin on the motherboard). The screen works ok, but not the scanlines. The backlight or the brightness buttons on the lynx does nothing when pressed. Question is...there's a pin at the rear at the bottom of the screen labelled "scanlines" which wasn't present in previous versions. Do I have to solder the wire here instead of on the "brightness" pin? I threw the question to the Zedlabz guys a coouple of days ago but I think they're busy...Thanks

Thanks!

That's fantastic. Thanks so much for letting me know. I'll give it a go at the weekend and will post results!

Hi, My heavy has been stored for years and is not working anymore. The bottom left metal part (circled red) on the board clanks when shaking the board as if there were something loose inside. I'm kind of useless at electronics although I have enough skills to solder / desolder parts. I've tried and changed the TIA and RIOT chips but still nothing, which makes me suspect this part is the problem as it sounds really weird. Question is, is there a part in a 4 switch console I can replace this with? I have a spare 4 switcher and I wouldn't mind to use some components to replace my heavy sixer's even though they don't look the same (I know there's not such thing as this specific component on my 4 switcher's board but maybe there's an equal capacitor/resistor?). Thanx

Wow, Fantastic collection.

Yeah. I know for a fact that a website making Atari console box repros got a call from an Atari lawyer in NY to cease activity...
