DKZOOKEEPER #1 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Stephen #9 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FifthPlayer #12 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
