DKZOOKEEPER Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I recently bought a new approved Atari 800 power brick from 8bitclassics.com but when you turn the tv on and the Atari the picture changes a Little bit like its trying to get power but it won’t boot to any carts or anything and the 2 red power LED’s don’t come on? What should I check? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I'm not so sure 1.5A at 9VAC is enough to power the 800. What would that be - only 13.5 watts, I think the higher output Atari power supply was 31 watts, which would be 3.5A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifthPlayer Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi, just a friendly reminder that these posts about hardware belong in the main Atari 8-bit forum, rather than the programming forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
