cfredbandeira Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hello. I desperately need help. My Atari 5200, which was working perfectly yesterday, today had a problem. The image is gone and there is just static. I know that it is difficult - if not impossible - to give a diagnosis without having the equipment in hand, but if someone can give me a light on what could have happened, I would be forever grateful. There is no technical assistance around here that can fix it. I live in Brazil. The 5200 is my favorite console. He had the power MOD and composite video output through the UAV card (as attached photo) ?Please, if anyone can help, I really appreciate it!

+-^CrossBow^- Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Do all of your games give the same type of screen? Is that white bar in the center of the pic stationary or does it move on the screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfredbandeira Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 All cartridges had the same image. But, with the help of friends from an electronics industry, I got the entire 5200 motherboard checked. All ICs were removed and their contacts cleaned, all solders redone. The 5200 is back up and running. Thanks for your attention. I'm quite relieved now. Luckily there was no burnt component, just bad electronic contact. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
