loose board

[tantone56]

hey guys

I have this one game that doesnt fit into the atari that well in fact i really have to push hard. I looked at the chip inside and it shakes as if it doesnt fit snug. does anybody know how to fix this or is it not important also can it cause harm to my atari?

What cart is it? Which VCS do you have?

 

I have this problem with Congo Bongo on my 2 port 5200. It takes a gorilla to push the cart in. Luckily the 5200 version kind of sucks so it doesn't come up too often that I have to call a gorilla.

the fix is pretty simple if you dont mind possibly damaging the labels. just unscrew it and pop it back into place, mind the springs while you're at it.

Halloween does not have screws in it, you can just open the case and reseat the board.

yup its that cart but now im begining to thin its real because the cartridge has ridges towards the top that only wizard video game cartridges have and when i shinned a flashlight in the bottom the board appeared to be an apollo.

I would still like to get a double ender though.
