Frankie Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) I don't know if it's something that can be fixed, but I have an Atari 800 and when you start it up, instead of the regular blue background, it's green. Is that something fixable? I have been inside my 800XL, but never in the 800. Anyone have an opinion? Suggestion? Frank p.s. I get the same green color when using the composite out and the monitor out. Edited February 27, 2011 by Frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pot meter inside (not 100% sure if there's a opening under the machine to access it, but it's adjustable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how far I need to dissasemble it. I got about 1/2 way there and didn't see anything. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove the cover over the OS/RAM cards there is a hole in the back of the RF shield through which you should be able to adjust it.
