Atariboy2600 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Welp. My old Colecovision system seem to be dead. I had this for a long time and whats funny it was working some days ago only to just not turning on and I check the TV by using an other system the 2600 Vader and it works fine and seeing I dint have a multimeter to test anything. Im hoping to fine an other BOX Colecovision somewhere on ebay but Im dead broke so yeah. This suck as I found some Coleco games and yet to test them.

Ikrananka Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The fact you're getting absolutely nothing on screen may mean that it's just your power supply. Do you have anyone who can check the voltages from it for you? Where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikrananka Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Ah - hopefully someone in the US will offer to help. I have the means to diagnose and likely revive your CV but sending your unit to me in Canada is probably not very cost efficient for you.

Kiwi Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I see a power strip on the floor and the good Canadian power supply. You could try plugging the Colecovision power plug into the wall to rule out the power strip. Sometimes in certain plug spot, it won't work. Make sure that the wires aren't crossing any other wires like RF cord, controllers, since they cause interference very easily. I had that issue a lot with the old US plug before I got the Canadian version. My US cord seems to have a lot of breaks inside the cord that has to be twisted and set in a way just right to get it working(I'm very stubborn.).

Good news just got some replacement Colecovisons systems and it turn out yes it was the power supply that died and I tested my old system wtih the other power plug from the ebay bi units and not only that all other three undated systems works as well with no issues 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
