Can my Word Feud be fixed?

[SpendTooMuchOnAtari]

I have a Word Feud for the CV by the XONOX company. The problem I have is that the contact that goes into the system pushes back into the cartridge on one side. It can then be pulled back out into place. Is there a way to fix this problem or is my cartridge worthless now? It's too bad because this title is pretty hard to find.

 

Thanks for any help!

I don't know if your word feud can be fixed but I can tell you that Atari2600.com has some word feud carts for sale so you can get another one if you can't fix it.

Thanks, that's a little more than I wanted to pay and that rip in the cartridge would drive me crazy. I acquired mine from an ebay lot that sold recently, it was with others that I wanted. I thought I got a pretty good deal at the time but now that Word Feud is busted, I'm not so sure.

It's probably just a loose screw that holds the PCB in place or if screws weren't used, there would be a plastic steem that the PCB would rest on. If you shake the cartridge, do you hear any loose parts (ie: a screw)? In order to fix it you would have to open up the cartridge and possibly mess-up the label if it is covering the seam were the two halves of the cartridge case join.

 

Good luck and if all else fails, there is always eBay!

I don't hear any rattling in the cartridge when I shake it. If anyone wants it to possibly fix, make me an offer.
