Ok, thank you!

No, the game doesn't start. I just got done cleaning the controller it came with and it didn't do anything. When I listen to the audio closely, I can hear a slight buzzing sound on the menu. I already tried opening up the system, and it looks fine. I just can't get the rf shield out. I've tried straightening the tabs with pliers, and it still doesn't come out, so I can't get a close look at all of the chips and stuff. Edit: It can display graphics. I put in Dig-Dug, and after waiting a little bit on the glitched out title screen, it went to a demo that looked fine. The only thing that looked weird was the text on the top. So it does display graphics, but the games don't start and the text is weird on them.

So I bought a perfectly working Atari 5200 which was completely ruined in shipping. Pieces of it fell off, and stuff like that. But it still powers on and displays video. When I put in any game, (for example here, Pac-Man) it will turn on and display the atari logo, with a bunch of garbled text beneath it. Then, a few seconds later, it boots to a junk screen where I can just make out the words, "Pac Man". Then nothing happens after that. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
