Hi i'm new
Both here and with the vectrex,
I bought it and not cheap,
Here in (canary island spain) is difficult to get,
And ask for it outside is very high the costs in transport and customs
I have not seen my problem in all this subforum Nor anywhere else, I have read the 12 pages, all XD threads

I have reviewed potentiometers with no result

 

 

I have ordered these components for replacement

 

MC14052 and TL082

sorry my traducction, I do not know English and I use the translator

 

mi video the problem

 

 

I have all this to go review, but if someone can tell me if you have seen this breakdown would be of great help

is your IC207 (6522 VIA) chip soldered in, or in a socket?

 

if it is in a socket, try re-seating the chip and then see if the patterns (vectors) on your screen change

 

or, with the chip in place, you can apply pressure to the IC207 chip with your hand as the vectrex is booting up and see if the shapes of the vectors on the screen change. if they do, you would need to check IC207 is soldered ok without bad joints or if the socket is dirty or bad, or, the chip itself is bad

hi, yes i would recommend getting some spare 6522 chips

for example, from here:

Thank you very much, I have bought them, they take quite a while to arrive here, when they arrive, notice with the results, meanwhile if someone has more suggestions they are always welcome, I hope it is only that, a greeting and many thanks for the help,

Much desire to play XD,

hey, sorry to hear you are still having trouble :(

 

i think it would be a good idea next, to join the vectrex facebook group and ask for help there, because perhaps some of the guys there can give some good advice, so give that a try ok

 

here is the group to join:
