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 :)
