+grips03 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I bought Intv 2 and plug in power. I press on/off reset button but red led does not turn off. How does one turn off Intv 2 before changing carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galeforcerm Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hold the button down for a few seconds and release. Pushing it too fast just resets the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 thanks, I just figured that out, seems to be 5 seconds counting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_intv Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Yep, just give it 5 steamboats and you are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 have others done the resistor hack to speed up shutdown? i.e. 2.2Mohm in parallel with R15 (10Mohm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 have others done the resistor hack to speed up shutdown? i.e. 2.2Mohm in parallel with R15 (10Mohm) if you wanna do it go ahead. there is no danger in doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does one turn off Intv 2 before changing carts? My INTV 2 does the same thing! I discovered accidentally that you can "hot swap" carts- the only system that I know of that allows that.

toptenmaterial Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Tried the "five second rule" technique today. Works like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) changed R15 and it now turns off much nicer (faster) Edited April 27, 2013 by grips03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 My INTV 2 does the same thing! I discovered accidentally that you can "hot swap" carts- the only system that I know of that allows that. Channel F and Astrocade allow this. In fact, they encourage it. I think the Studio II does this too, especially since you can't turn the thing off without reaching behind your TV to turn the switchbox back to "TV."

Rik Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That on-off/reset thing in one is a pretty dumb design IMO, cost cuts perhaps? dunno. I wonder how many used, 2nd hand INTV 2's were returned or tossed because of this by those who didn't know about the 5 second rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just hold down the reset while changing carts, never doing it while it was "hot". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 has anyone just thrown in a switch to turn off power? shouldn't be to tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
