Atari Dogs Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 A friend gave me a 2600 Vader console he picked up at a garage sale along with some nasty looking cartridges. I plugged it in with the Radio Shack power supply it came with. I got nothing. Then it started hissing. After I unplugged it and the hissing stopped in about twenty seconds. When I took it apart, nothing obvious no obvious caps exploded that I could see. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jettgogaming Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'd say get a hold of an OEM Atari power supply and try again. Sometimes I've had to go through 3 or 4 power supply units before I found one that actually worked. Did you try cleaning the cartridges as well before testing them?
