Brood69 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi guys, I have a great fully working French/Scart Colecovision. My problem is coming with the Module #1 : when plugging it, I just get a black screen and it won't read any game cartridge. Unplugged, I get my Colecovision back as usual... I already cleaned up the connectors many times, both in th extension slot and the Atari module, and did not identify any other potential issues. Anyone can help ?

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Replacing the capacitors inside wouldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brood69 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 I initially thought the Atari Module was just a rewiring...but indeed, after opening it, there is way more than that ! Mine looks brand new (I have it in box) and I will start looking at the electronic components. Any other ideas welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi Brood69. You need a French CBS Atari Module for your French CBS Scart ColecoVision. I am in the same boat as you, I have had several ColecoVisions.But when I bought the French CBS Scart version few years back and would try my UK CBS Atari module it was all black screen.The French pin out is not the same as the U.S. and the "normal" CBS version.I do not have the French CBS Atari Module myself so. it should be possible to change, but I have not had time to even look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brood69 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Damned, I am done !! Will check my Atari module but that must be it... So I have an almost new module #1 for sale :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brood69 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 In fact no...I had a French version of the Expansion Module 1 too ! So it does not work...I need to check the Inside. One quick question : when you switch on the Colecovision with the module connected but no Game cartridge inserted, do you get anything else than a blanck screen ?

ten-four Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 French CBS ColecoVision turned on and U.K. CBS Exp. Module 1 connected. There is both Black screen with or without Atari cartridge inserted. (PAL Silver). I know the sound can't work, but it can be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
