Greg2600 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 incorrect, the proto had sound and was complete from what I played. I took a video of me testing the original cart out last year. Just remembered I was thinking of the Muppet 1-2-3 proto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-bot Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 I think I may have figured out what the issue is. I need to fix a few more of the carts to be sure but I just fixed one dead one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y-bot Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 dang it i just sent it back today what was your trick fix? just curious i am a tad shocked they went out untested when i made my controller adapters i tested each with missile command ,galaxian and dig dug just to make sure live and learn i guess Okay problem solved. Here's what happened. CPUWIZ didn't have a working Atari 5200 so he sent me the first one to test which worked fine. I got the rest of the batch some weeks later and had forgotten that he didn't have a 5200 to test them on. I actually thought about testing them but never had time before PRGE. For some reason that first one has a small capacitor installed on the PCB and the rest of the batch he sent me doesn't. That's the problem, it needs that cap. I guess it shouldn't but it does. So everyone send them back to me and I will repair and return them. Sorry for rushing these out without proper testing. I have 13 tested, working and ready to go. I'll just swap over your number label and send them back ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwierer Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I got mine at the PRGE and it's working fine. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-bot Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I got mine at the PRGE and it's working fine. -Jeff What number is yours? Glad it's working. I tested every one I have left and only one worked which also happens to be the only one with that capacitor installed. I tore apart all the junk 5200 games I had and scavenged 14 of those caps. I was able to repair 13 carts. One has a different issue and still isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwierer Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have number 25 of 50. I'd open it and check for the cap if it weren't for the sticker in the way I am using a for port 5200 if it matters. I have a 2 port somewhere I could try it on as well. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
