Ok, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I thought I would post. Feel free to redirect me. Here is my tragic/wonderful story- 1. So I won a boxed Fairchild Channel F off of eBay (system only) for what I think is a good deal. It has no sound. No worries, I think its probably the speaker (any other ideas would be a great help) and if it is I think I can fix it. Still no worries. 2. I start looking for carts and find 8 for a remarkable deal. 3. The wonderful part-turns out 1 of the 8 carts is the demo cart 1, YAY! right? 4. Get the FCF in and plug it up, no sound but amazing picture on my flat Toshiba-I mean stunning. I'm like what do you mean FCF is behind all the others in hardware, right !?! 5. Plug the thing up and get my cart 2 to play and both of the internal games, Rock and Roll!!! BTW these are actually loads of fun. 6. Plug Robot War in and YES, @#$& YES this game is cool! You say play Battlefield or whatever and I say play ROBOT WAR and cut the bull... 7. Ok, video check, fun check, time for the luck check. Does the Demo Cart 1 work? I slot it in and it works!!!! YES, now I have one of the rarest FCF carts for peanuts and a working FCF *crowd goes wild* WILD STALLIONS ROCK!!! Carry on my wayward son! Superfly..! etc. etc. 8. Luck runs out. After inserting Demo Cart 1 and running the demo my FCF now plays games for a short time and goes to a gray screen. :-( Anyone know what happened? I cannot figure it. I mean Demo 1 does not do any updates, right? I mean it was 76 man, what the @#$& was an update. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I was having so much fun and I want it back. I mean the cart message says to have fun and I was having it. HELP??? (P.S. also the speaker issue)

If you do these again I am mega interested. Also please do these again!!!
