I can't get this Pong system to work. When you turn it on and press the reset button, all you get is static from the speaker, if you're lucky, and no picture.
The batteries had leaked, so I cleaned it up the best I could. I got it to work for about a day, but then it just died again. I replaced the battery holder because the terminals were very corroded. That did nothing. I opened it up to see if the batteries had leaked on something inside. (They hadn't: the inside is VERY clean.) I tried bypassing the reset switch to no avail. I tried bypassing the power switch to no avail. I have NOT tried replacing the capacitors because I haven't had time to get to an electronics store. They look fine, no bulging or leaking, but I know that doesn't mean they're good. I don't know if these pictures will help. I can take more if anyone would like them.
Thank you,
