I purchased a ColecoVision recently that worked fine the first time I plugged it in, but then I bumped the power cord and it looked like it shorted out. Now everytime I turn on the console I get the same garbled text each time. I'm afraid that I may have fried some of the 4116 DRAM chips by doing this and was wondering what everyone thinks my next course of action should be? I read on another thread about piggybacking another chip to test for the bad one... I'm comfortable with soldering but I have read some things about the Coleco's board and how fragile it's supposed to be and would like to avoid ruining such an old console.

Excellent, I will post updates of my progress with photos. I'm ruling out the cart slot.
