Hi folks,
Anyone have any troubleshooting expertise on these things? Got one of my
spares out for sale and typically the bloody thing is pretty dead. I say
*pretty* dead 'cos I get the cart intro screen on power up, but with the
computer module attached I get nothing. I've left it powered up for 15
minutes in case it's a warm up problem but that makes matters worse :)
According to the service manual I have to replace either the RAM or CPU in
that order, but since spares for those will come from working intellivisions
I don't want to do that! Also, off the top of my head I can't think of any
other videogames that use the General Instruments GI1610 CPU, assuming it's
that that's croaked. The RAM is a GI-specific chip too. Spares, anyone?
TIA :)
