There was a little bit of excessive heat applied to the power module. I went ahead and got all the pins out as well and cleaned out the holes. I'm trying to figure out though about the power jack? Did it break loose before? There was some solder work done there and part of a pad missing on one of the pins. Edit: You can see it in the last pic in reply #8 in the before pics.

Okay, I went ahead and started cleaning some things up so I can start from scratch. I apologize for the blurry pics. I will try to start on everything tomorrow after work.

I didn't think I was going to have time but I managed to get the thing apart tonight and may get to some of it this evening I want to go ahead and post some before pics before I do anything to it. The next replies coming will be my undoings and doings. A few more

Sounds like a very good idea as you wouldn't want to use something like crazy glue then have trouble getting them back off if needed. Fortunately the ones I put back on fit so tight nothing else was needed.

I thought I'd share a repair I did on an Atari 5200 joystick that the user was having issues with the arms on the pots popping loose from the guides for the X and Y movement on the joystick. The fix was very simple. I figured a simple solution would be to raise the arms up on the pots. To do this I took a hole punch and some foil tape I had laying on the bench(any paper should work this was just laying there). With the foil tape I punched out 3 pieces for each one, leaving the backing on it. I pulled each arm off the pot and stuck the pieces down inside the hole(3 a piece with backing paper still on it) and pushed the arms back down on the pots. This was a perfect fit. After doing so I had to get them lined up right again so to do so I moved them back and forth seeing where the end met up near the top and bottom for the vertical pot and left and right for the horizontal and slid it with force until they looked right when moving them without force, for example when it was correct I would move the vertical pot up and it would stop at 11 oclock and then down it would stop at 7 oclock, without force. Here is a pick of what I did. I've been testing it out for awhile and so far don't think it is going to have anymore issues popping out of place. EDIT: Just ignore my nasty thumbnail there I believe I was working on the bucket truck at work that day but I my hands were cleaned before working on this stuff other than under my nails.

Looks nice. Are you going to provide the files?

I thought you meant what is Yars getting revenge for, lol.

I thought that was a more recent thing. I use it all the time didn't realize it was used that long ago for "I don't know", but I dunno I guess. EDIT: Out of curiosity I have been searching for a few minutes now to see if I can see how far that it dates back. Found it on urbandictionary.com but it just explains the meaning I'm trying to find the origin now curious when it was first used in place of "don't know." I apologize for getting off topic. EDIT: Found my answer on dictionary.com 1835-1845 is when it said the use was first recorded.

Did another repair for GoldenWheels. Prompt payment as usual & excellent communication. Excellent person to do business with.

I think I am asking too much for this so if it doesn't sell I will probably just include it with a 360 I will be selling soon once I replace the dvd drive.

An original Xbox, $85 way too much. And the controllers don't even match they are different sizes. You have to have all 4 of same type or it is worthless. Just kidding I think it is a good deal, and agree the controllers should make it worth it and even more so if it has been modded to run emulators not sure if it has or not.

Are you sure this isn't it? I'm not saying that it is right the color code could definitely be different with your cables it is whatever the manufacturer decides to use really, but I would go by a pinout and check each with a multimeter set on ohms to verify that you have the correct color code just to be on the safe side.

Not that it is noticeable though seeing how some of the games take up about 10 times the space an Xbox 360 game would. I have a 320GB Xbox 360 console and have literally 100 games on it and still have room for more. I have less than 10 games on the Xbox One and would have to remove one now to install another game.

I don't have one now but back in the day I bought one for Mortal Kombat

I know it doesn't matter now because it is different but I thought either way I should correct my mistake I didn't think of earlier which is that in my code above I completely overlooked if any digit was a zero(oops) so I made some changes which work now <?php $score = 192387; //any number up to six digits, don't put zeros in front like 023455, instead do 23455 echo "Example score is $score<br>"; $leftdigit = $score / 100000; $leftdigitnoremainder = (floor($leftdigit)); $fivedigits = $score - ($leftdigitnoremainder * 100000); $fifthdigit = $fivedigits / 10000; $fifthdigitnoremainder =(floor($fifthdigit)); $fourdigits = $fivedigits - ($fifthdigitnoremainder * 10000); $fourthdigit = $fourdigits / 1000; $fourthdigitnoremainder =(floor($fourthdigit)); $threedigits = $fourdigits - ($fourthdigitnoremainder * 1000); $thirddigit = $threedigits / 100; $thirddigitnoremainder =(floor($thirddigit)); $twodigits = $threedigits - ($thirddigitnoremainder * 100); $seconddigit = $twodigits / 10; $seconddigitnoremainder = (floor($seconddigit)); $onedigit = $twodigits - ($seconddigitnoremainder * 10); $firstdigit = $onedigit / 1; $firstdigitnoremainder = (floor($firstdigit)); echo "$leftdigitnoremainder $fourthdigitnoremainder$thirddigitnoremainder$seconddigitnoremainder$firstdigitnoremainder"; ?> Now any number you put for the first line for example $score will come out in the format 0 0000, for example 845932 will provide 8 5932 as did with my first post but now 004056(put it in as 4056 though no zeroes in front) will come out correctly as 0 4056 edit: Took me a bit but came up with a shorter version does same thing <?php $score = 987693;// Example score $numdigits = strlen($score); if($numdigits < 6){ $numtoadd = 6 - $numdigits; }else{ $numtoadd = 0; } do{ if($numtoadd > 0){ $array[] = 0; $numtoadd --; } }while ($numtoadd > 1); $newarray = str_split($score); $place = 0; do{ $array[] = $newarray[$place]; $numdigits --; $place ++; }while ($numdigits > 0); echo "$array[0] $array[2]$array[3]$array[4]$array[5]"; ?>

I just wanted to show what I was trying to explain. <?php $score = 728437; echo "Example score is $score<br>"; $leftdigit = $score / 100000; $leftdigitnoremainder = (floor($leftdigit)); $fivedigits = $score - ($leftdigitnoremainder * 100000); $fifthdigit = $fivedigits / 10000; $fifthdigitnoremainder =(floor($fifthdigit)); $fourdigits = $fivedigits - ($fifthdigitnoremainder * 10000); echo "$leftdigitnoremainder $fourdigits"; ?> You can put this in at http://phptester.net/ if you want to test it out. I know it will be different programming I just wanted to explain the logic behind it.

I've never programmed for the Atari 2600 so going about this may be completely different than what I would be thinking. But I would think if I have a 6 digit number I would want to divide the number by 100,000 and that without the remainder would be the digit to the left that a variable would be assigned to for use with that one digit by itself. Then for the other I would take the the total score and subtract the (that variable times 100,000) and what would be left would be the the 5 digit number, then divide that by 10,000 and that gives you the value for digit 5 and store it as a variable, so then you could take the 5 digit number and subtract the (that variable times 10,000), which will leave you with the 4 digit number that you can then display next. Like I said though I've never programmed on the 2600 and there are other ways to do that also but I was trying to do it thinking of an easy to understand way to do it, if it can even be done like that on it I have no clue.

Atari has a hat they can sell you.

Can the switches be gold plated? I've never seen that done but I think that would help to pimp it out.

Why does TI software come with a tape and a cartridge? Like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/25-Wire-Spade-Fork-Connector-Blue-Vinyl-Terminal-10-Car-Audio-Speaker-Amp-New/201103574270?hash=item2ed2b504fe:g:Ko8AAMXQpPhTkida one for Tunnel of Doom which has a disk and a cartridge. Is it the same thing but one on a tape/disk and the other on a cartridge or is it different material on each?

I agree with CRTGAMER above, but meanwhile you can just strip the end of that where the connector broke off and you can wrap it around the screw and it will work just as good as it did before. You could do that while you wait on better parts so you aren't without a system.

Well I believe specifically he is referring to the spade fork terminal connectors. He may have a very old TV he is connecting it to which doesn't have coax input. https://www.ebay.com/itm/25-Wire-Spade-Fork-Connector-Blue-Vinyl-Terminal-10-Car-Audio-Speaker-Amp-New/201103574270?hash=item2ed2b504fe:g:Ko8AAMXQpPhTkida

Maybe a handhelds forum in general that covers them all, old or current? Vita, PSP, Gameboy, Game Gear, 3DS, etc?
