Service manuals?

[kroogur]

I did a search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

 

Are there any places to purchase or view the service manuals for game consoles like the 2600 or other systems? Things like troubleshooting and circuit board layout?

I have the 2600 and 5200 manuals on a cd rom. You should be able to find a set on evilbay.

I believe both atariguide.com and digitpress.com have them for download.

Yeah, I've got the 2600 service manual on .PDF, it's the full book: Schematics, pinouts, tech bulletins, the whole smash. I wish I remember where I got it (I tend to forget sourcing) so I could direct you, but I think it was Atariguide. If you can't find it, send me a PM and I can e-mail it to you.

Curt's site has the 2600 service manual. I also found the LaserActive service manual online at cyberroach.com, but it's all in gif images instead of being a pdf or something. That means you have to download each one individually and it's thicker than a book bound version of Wikipedia. (actually it only seems that way...it's 116 pages)
