Vectrex knowledge...

Post by xmod »

Just acquired a vectrex system.
It had a sticker on the box saying that the screen would sometimes turn off. I got it, with 3 games, for 50$

Got home, hooked it up and it turned on, played it for a while and all was good.
Turned it off and later in the day upon wanting to show it to someone, was getting no image on the screen.
I searched google and notice a few people having a similar issue, only they would at least have a white dot in the middle of the screen. I am left with nothing in screen at all.

Opened it up, and checked for any visible signs of cold solder joints, touched up a few of them but in vein.

Any information of links to great vectrex information would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

You have done everything I have ever done to a Vectrex. The only other thing I could think of is that there might be an issue inside the monitor, I just dont know what it would be.

You might want to post over at the atariage.com forums. I think there are some vectrex experts over there.
