Followed the advice on here with no success.

 

Mine works first time, then when you power off and on (or switch carts) it gets a black screen or the game screen with crashed graphics.

 

Mine is a little unusual in that when I took it apart it had obviously had cola spilled into it (sticky and brown).

 

I've cleaned it up as much as I can and it is working but I want it to work properly.

 

I have other 2600's if switching out a chip may help but can I switch chips from a vader into a light sixer?

 

Or is the work first time/fail second time symptomatic of a different issue (capacitor/resistor etc)?
