Eltigro Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 So the other day I was playing some Blackjack, and suddenly lost picture. I ended up "fixing" it by changing the TV channel from 3 to 4. It was as if the channel select switch on the bottom of the controller had been moved even though I hadn't even picked up the console. I looked underneath and manually moved it back and forth from one to the other and it seemed to work fine, so I left it on 4 and continued playing. Then a little while later, it happened again. Had to switch the TV back to 3. Just wondering if someone else has come across this. Is it something common? Any ideas? Do I need a new switch or just to clean this one? Or do I need to have an exorcism? In case it matters, this is on my Super Pro System. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) The switch is external to the RF modulator. I believe it defaults to channel 4 unless the selector pin is grounded i.e. switched on. If you can get the metal enclosure off you can look to see if something is loose around there. If you disconnect the switch, I think it will stay on channel 4. If it's still not stable than the problem might be inside the rf modulator. Try cleaning the switch first.
