-^Cro§Bow^- I just wanted to thank you, I had never thought to look at the voltage regulator. The orginal grease had dried up and was all cracked so I opened up the system and added some white lithium grease to the spot where it was orignally and flipped the polarity a few times and got it to power up and play games with lil to no problems. Thanks, Z28in82

I won a 7800 on Ebay and it had no power supply so i posted here and read about splicing a 2-pin power supply from a computer to a 9 VDC 800 mA, adaptor which I did and when I tried this creation I didn't get power the led wouldn't turn on and all I did get was a "pop" and a small trail or smoke. Is there anything I can do to save this system? Thanks, Z28in82

Looking to buy a 7800, I had one with no power and tried to custom make an adaptor and ended up shorting out the system so anyone who has one and is looking to sell please let me know. Thanks in advance, Z28in82

I've never owned an atari and recently picked up a 7800 (W/O power) but I was looking and saw that there was a switch on the back with one side having a circle and the other having a square, what does that do? Thansk in advance, Shaun

it was said by 10270 You can use the 2-pin connectors that are found on the inside of modern computers... Like the ones used for the reset button or power LED. It's a tight fit, but not too tight. I took a universal 1000mA power supply, and spliced one of these connectors into it, and now have a 7800/2600 suitable power supply. I recently picked up a universal from Wal-Mart, [email protected], and tons of different connectors, for about $10. I was wondering is there a particular 2 pin to use, I have been looking and can't find one. So any suggestions would be apperiated. Thanks

First and formost I'd love to see a common power supply. I bought a 7800 and the power was shot. So now I have an Atari and no way to play . I am new to the world of Atari, growing up I was a C64 and Odyssey2 Brat but my roommates got me into atari and now I'm stuck with a pretty much dead system. SecondlyS-cable or at least RCA plugs would be nice, I love my tangled mess of Y-connectors behind my TV and would trade them for anything. Just the thoughts of a Newbee, take'em or leave'em Shaun

Help! I'm new to Atari's and picked up a 7800 but the power supply is non-existant. So I have been trying to find supply somewhere or even a suitable replacement from an electronic store. any help would be apperiated. Thansk in advance, Shaun
