gohmc Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong when I tried to reset my atari 2600 with the reset switch on my Atari 2600 Jr it doesn't work but when I open up the console and jump the corresponding pin on the 6532 RIOT Chip I am able to reset and do the game select functions but If I plug in the ribbon cable into the motherboard that goes to the reset and game select buttons It doesn't do anything. I tried bridging it with wire but not effect the only thing It does when I do that it just stays in a constant reset loop like what would happen if you just held down the reset button. Any suggestions or idea would be much appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 You can try cleaning the contacts on the ribbon cable or replace it. This is common on Jr.'s. I don't have any cables left, but Best Electronics does.

gohmc Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 I am working on an atari 2600 Jr and the console keeps resetting itself over and over again in a repaid succession like I was holding the reset button down but I don't even have the ribbon cable or anything plugged in for those functions at all.
