Atari 2600 no power to console and replace ac adapter with correct new one,still when I turn console switch to on position nothing happens

Well put it this way yes it a power system failure to fix this problem you basiclly will have to install a new mother board for the console from another atari 2600 console like from ebay. If you find a crappy atari 2600 console with a working motherboard you might just be able to switch it and I fix NES SNES N64 sega gamecube and atari 2600 consoles too. This has a high probility of not working if you don't know what to do or on how to fix it. 8 out of 10 it might not work after this.

Hello!

When powering the stuff there should be light indicated that there is a power on it. how ever if these not been observed, power adapter maybe busted. try to fix it or replace it. Please refer to the atari manual for the correct operation of your stuff.

Well you could just plug the console and only the ac adapter into an outlit then.

Lukie games sell atari 2600 ac adapters and atari 2600 joy sticks too.

Well It might be the ac adapter thats doing this so you could buy a new adapter to see if it works again usually Nintendo sega and atari consoles will work with a new ac adapter then.

In this situation what I would do would be to replace the cable that runs from the Atari to the TV. Also, if you are using a variable power supply, make sure that the power supply is set on the propper settings and the polarity is in the correct setting.

The Atari 2600 adapter has the following information on it:

Input: 120V AC 60Hz 12W

Output: 9V DC 500mA

Positive tip


Make sure you test the power supply before you use it. I have 2 original atari power supplies, and they are both putting out about 15V DC, which may be why my atari's aren't working anymore!

Press up on the power switch to reset the machine. Then try powering down. If that fails, accumulated dirt or general usage may be preventing the on/off slider from sliding fully to the off position. If you want to hurt your baby, take it apart - you will find the obstruction in the casing (could be as simple as a ball of lint). I wouldn't reccomend it however - the Atari 2600 was always touchy, and this is not as big of a deal as it might seem. Just unplug after every use.
