sup mini game: Por que a bateria tem uma durabilidade baixa e como posso consertar?

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 15:09:08 -0700

Eu e meu irmão costumavamos ganhar vários deles, poréma bateria começava a dar sinais de defeito com pelo menos 4 meses de uso. Nosso pai vendo a situação tentou coloca-las em um daqueles "carregadores de bateria" (, e meio que aqueles carregadores de pilha para tomada,) mas sem sucesso.

Gostaria de poder ajuda-lo com esse dinheiro jogado no lixo consertando pelo menos 1 dos que temos.

Vectrex: Game & Sound But No Picture

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:18:04 -0700

*Update After Cleaning the pins of the J204 connector the screen emits a glow after turning the brightness up all the way and the tube on the back of the crt has a glow which did not happen before as seen in pictures.

*Edit Here are some photos of the power board. As far as I can tell none of the capacitors look damaged. I also took a picture of the board on the tube itself, not sure what that is called. Sorry for the weird angles but its the best I can do without removing the board.

I have a vectrex with game and sound both working but zero picture, no dot in the middle of the screen or anything. The only thing I have done to repair the vectrex was replace a fuse which brought back game & sound function. I am not very tech savvy and this is out of my league, any help is appreciated.

Intellivision: Intellivision 2 model has major static in picture

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 08:11:56 -0700

Hi folks! I have an Intellivision 2 console. when I hook it up with coax to my led tv, I can see the picture ok, but it's filled with static. I have two of these consoles and they are both the same. I have seen this same problem on two different TVs as well. I tried switching cable as well. Same. I am currently using the cable from a classic Nintendo (push in style plug goes to a box and converts to screw in type coax)

I tried cleaning the connection port of the Intellivision with a small wire brush and the I side of the port with some light sandpaper. No change.

Help?

NEC PC-FX: Disc doesn't seem to be turning in console.

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 23:48:18 -0700

Hi! Almost 100% sure that the disk isn't turning. I don't feel anything anything happening and its hard to see in the little window. nothing automatically loads when you close the door on the top with a cd in it. I should note that I currently dont own a game, was trying to test the system using several different audio cds but no luck. I do get the splash screen, and I've tried selecting all the icons and pressing all the buttons on the controller. Please help!

SNK Neo Geo AES: AES console resets during initial power on

Atari Lynx: Console contrast adjusting itself until eventually losing power

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 19:12:30 -0700

Hey there!

I’ve recently started a refurbishment on an Atari Lynx Gen 1, before I powered it on for the first time in my ownership, I replaced the Q11 power MOSFET, The ZD1 Zener Diode, and all the capacitors on the board in order to give it the best chance of working because i know the lynx has a tendency to nuke itself if powered on with bad power components.

After replacing all these parts and trying to power the console on, i get greeted with a black screen, reinserting the cartridge and powercycling the console a random amount of times will finally get the console to play, however, after about 8 minutes I notice that the screens contrast/brightness has adjusted itself without prompting from the wheel, the brightness will adjust via the wheel, but eventually it fades to where the wheel doesn’t do anything, then the game crashes and the console powers off without obvious cause.

This whole process takes about 15 minutes before it powers off on its own. The console wont turn back on unless the batteries are removed and reinserted. Then the cycle repeats itself with the black screen, having to power cycle and mess with the cartridge in order to get it to run again.

The game works fine in my Lynx II and this issue happens in the Lynx I regardless of the game I have inserted.

Im honestly at a loss here and would appreciate any advice or suggestions anyone could provide.

More information if it helps, after more testing ive found that this issue only happens on battery power.

Ive also found that removing the cartridge while the console is on does not shut the console off like it should. The screen just goes black. Power is run through the cartridge so when the cartridge is removed the entire console should power off.

Super confusing
