shear_xear Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi everyone. I have an Atari 7800 that is working great, other than the fact that the "pause" button won't work. I have replaced the switch, so I know that there is something else wrong with the console keeping this switch/button from working. Any ideas on what the issue might be? Thanks!

+DrVenkman Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I haven't had my 7800 apart in quite a while, but when you replaced the switch, did you verify continuity all the way through the circuit, cross-checking against a schematic?

shear_xear Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi. I figured it out after looking for continuity. Actually some solder on one of the four switch pads had somehow spread over to the nearby ground and was causing the button to stay on. Thanks for the assistance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
