2600 static

[esplonky]

so every once in a while, my atari will start flashing static on the screen, and then it'll just go static until i turn off and turn on the system. it gets annoying when you are about to beat your high score on river raid and all of a sudden it goes static and you can't see anything.

Open the system and replace the "green chicklet" type capacitor. Should take care of the problem for you!

If you have a six switch unit, the cap is on the switchboard, if it is a four switch, it is in the lower left hand corner above the power regulator.
