- I have an Atari 800 with a power up problem: Sometimes (lately
- very frequently) I won't get a video image at all, or a pattern
- of vertical and horizontal bars for the video image. After flipping
- the power switch on and off several times, I can coax the machine
- to operate correctly. I tried opening the machine up and reseating
- connectors, and chips in sockets, but that didn't clear this
- problem. I also have an Atari 400 I am willing to steal boards/parts
- from, any suggestions?
