Having a problem with my Colecovision...

[DDCecil]

I decided to hook up my Colecovision today after a long hiatus, and it powers on fine, and I can hear the game's audio just great. The only problem is that there is no video.

 

Just curious what I would need to do to fix it.

When you say "no video" do you mean the console shows either static noise, corrupted graphics or black?

It's pure black (Unless I start wiggling the R/F cord, then it starts to get fuzzy).

There is a possibility that the power supply might don't give the correct voltages and then the circuit inside can't run properly. I do own a ColecoVision game system which is showing a problem with the power cord(wire) which. If I place the cord in a certain way the output voltage isn't fine and I'm getting missing colors and various video artefacts, but if I place it another way the voltage seems fine enough to power up properly. I'm not saying that it's the source of your problem but it's a possibility to check if first of all the ouput from the power supply block gives the proper voltages.
