Hey guys
I recently got a box full of Atari ST machines, games and audio plug in's and a SC1224 color monitor. The 2 1040's I got are DOA one is incomplete (the 1040e) and the other is complete and turns on but doesnt function.
When I go to turn it on I get a black or white screen with colored artifacts on the screen, it looks like it is trying to boot into something as after a few seconds it goes to another screen that is scrambled. If I reset the machine it will go from a white to black screen and do nothing.
I am new to the ST line as far as toubleshooing goes I have no clue where to start ot what to look at.
I am all ears! I would like to ressurect this beast as I got quite a few good games in the lot that I would love to go back and play again!
Thanks in advance
