Wow long time since I last posted something!! Well I have an IntelliVision 1 and have some cartridge problems. It seems as my IntelliVision likes more carts that others. I bought the systems from a video game store in Madison WI and got 3 games and all of them work and still do however I bought a couple of games from a local game store and some would get to the IntelliVision screen and button press would freeze the system or load garbage even after cleaning them. The thing that I think is strange is I bought 2 copies of Night stalker. The first would go to the IntelliVision splash screen and button hit would freeze it. The 2nd one would work with no problem. However when I bought Advanced D&D the game would freeze and show garbage. I just recently got Space Spartas the game gets to the splash screen and it will go to the space map for a millisecond and than freezes. Im having a hard time thinking if its the games or my system? Are the cartridge not that dependable for the IntelliVision? I found it odd that I bought 10 games for the IntelliVision and 2 dont work and after rebuying Night stalker to get it working. I was thinking of reseating the rom chipsets on the board but I dont really know If thats the problem or not. Any advice or input would be a great help and thanks in advance!

Hi! Sorry if this is the wrong place, didn't find anywhere to post this. I have an Atari 2600 Jr that powers up the red light, but the screen is black ... I've seen more of these on eBay, just wondering if anyone knows how to fix it? Is there a special chip, transistor, resistor or whatever they're called that usually blows? If anyone has fixed this problem, where do you get the spare parts? Hate to throw a system if there's a chance of repair. Sorry again and hope someone will try to help Thank you

I picked up a broken Atari XEGS on Ebay as a learning project for working on my soldering and desoldering skills. It has a completely black screen with no sign of video or audio activity. The RAM chips were heating up so I replaced those. The RAM chips stopped overheating but other than that there is no change. I still get a completely black screen. The power supply checked out. It seems to be completely fine. It's outputting 5V just like it should. There isn't anything unusual on the motherboard besides my poor job on the RAM chips. What would likely be the culprit here? Is there anything else I can check for or do I just need to start replacing chips?
