Ok, I've got two Colecovisions that I pulled out of storage yesterday to maybe sell of one of them since....well I need the money more than I need to Colecovisions
One of them works great so I put that away to keep. The other one...well I first thought I had problems with the controllers, but I've ruled that out after trying four different controllers of which three are working great in the other machine and one seems to be heading for a rebuild once I buy a new soldering iron. Anyway, the problem is that the fire button seems to be stuck in "pressed" position all the time. Like I said I first thought it was a problem with the controllers but since I've tried them in another CV and they all work fine it seems to be a problem in the machine itself. I opened it up but can't find any obvious shorts or any other problem that I can see with the naked eye.
What I'm asking is, have any of you had the same problem or do you know of it and know of a way to fix it? Otherwise the console works great, but when you start a game, you choose the difficulty and then the game comes on and the character jumps/fires once and then nothing, just as if the firebutton is pressed and not letting up.
Any help would be most appreciated!
