Can anyone please help with an atari 800xl I have which has no sound?
I should straight away fill you in with where I am up to with it - Well I currently have 7 800XL's. 5 are working and 2 have issues. the one I'm trying to fix at the moment has no sound so I took the POKEY chip out and tried it in a working machine and we got sound ergo it's not the POKEY.
I know someone is going to mention oscilliscopes at some point - no I don't have one. I don't mean to sound to direct but it'll just speed things up a bit to let everyone know now. I do have a DVM though and I'm not to bad with a soldering iron
Also I am in PAL area and they do have the monitor output (I saw people mentioning this on a similar 600XL thread - I never realised NTSC consoles didn't have this)
If anyone could advise I'd be really grateful
Oh ps my other none runner has a black screen issue - tunes but does not display. I reckon I'll have a go at this machine when I've fixed the sound fault on the first one
