youki Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 did you try other cartridge? Did you clean cartridge port? and Cartridge Connector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 did you try other cartridge? Did you clean cartridge port? and Cartridge Connector? Hi Youki I have tried to "test" some games including all my homebrews, and my homebrews they work all. However, I have also tried a few pieces from Coleco Inc., with some minor graphical errors. So my conclusion must be that there must be cleaned carefully with some isopropyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the power supply or a dirty/corroded power switch If not at least you have garbled video and can replace defective video IC's or the VDP Hope you get it working.

Murph74 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Cabbage Patch Kids was an over rated game anyway. (Just kidding-- I actually liked it better than the CV version of Pitfall!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your French Console uses a TMS9929 ? not a TMS9928 ? It takes time to replace the VDP, I have a couple consoles that need them. The other problem is actually finding the chip. If you decide to replace the VDP, I would recommend a socket from Jameco. Then in the event it fails again, replacing would be a breeze.

youki Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Your French Console uses a TMS9929 ? not a TMS9928 ? All European Colecovision uses TMS9929 for PAL and SECAM output afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
