nommix Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hello everybody, I recently bought a very nice pal (I'm from europe) atari 2600 woody six and all was well. But it has developed a slight problem,(after it got knocked off the table about 13 inch high)... the picture is in the wrong place on the tv screen...(and yes I know i'm an idiot :-) First i thought the rf tuner got knocked around but I've tried fine tunning and it doesn't get any better then this. My question is can i fix this or should i be looking out for a replacement console ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

+SpiceWare Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Open it up and see if you have any socketed chips. If so, try reseating the chips (push down on each one). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm wondering it it's actually the RIOT chip, the display looks pretty good. Issues with the RAM and timers could cause the distorted frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice, I opened it up wiggled the chips a little bit....and... Victory, I have a fully functional woody six once more !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
