Hi,
I live in the UK and just bought a couple of Atari 8-bit computers from a car boot sale (common in the UK). An Atari 800 which works perfectly and an Atari 400.
When I switch on the Atari 400, it makes a bleeping sound and shows the normal black border and blue screen. Sometimes Memopad appears when I press a few keys, sometimes not. It sounds like a fault.
Can anybody point me as to what the problem might be? Am I just booting incorrectly?
For information, I'm using the same power supply that the Atari 800 uses i.e. 9V DC.
Any advice would be very helpful. Would like to bring this little baby back to life!
Thanks.
Mark
