  1. Hi,

     

    here are picture of what i have tried yet.

     

    1.) This is the replaced capacitor - the problem is the contact of the + pole was broken out while replacing the old capacitor.

    I have tried to connect the + pole to resistor 3 and later 4 - without success, so at the moment i don´t know if the problem is the wrong / missing connection of the + pole or if
    additional other parts are defect - so i want to fix this problem first and check then for maybe other issues

     

    2.) I have replaced the defect power supply with a new one (9v dc 1a)

     

    3.) At the power regulator i get a constant ~ 3,5 V in the in (what should be at least 9 v i guess) and ~ 0,6 v at the output - independly if i pressed the power switch or not

  2. Hi there,

     

    i have bought an old atari 7800 and i´m trying to get it back to life.

     

    As far as i was initial trying to power on the console the old power supply smoke away.

     

    So i have opened the case and see that the the big 2200uf capacitor was blown up.

     

    When i attempt to replace the capacitor - the contact of the + pole broke out from the motherboard ;( So maybe someone know an alternative contact that i can connect to the + pole of the capacitor, to get the circuit back to work.

     

    I have the pal version revision c.

     

    I´m not sure if this is the only problem - so maybe i need additional help later.

     

    Thank you very mutch.
