Hi guys, haven't posted in ages, same as I hadn't touched my games.
2 years ago I bought a 5200 on Ebay here in Australia with a multi card, sweet. Also bought a few games here on Atariage.
Just now connected it up for the first time properly, I get it tuned on the TV except the sound is static. Every now and then I "hear" the game very faint.
Now I've read to replace the capacitors to start with.
What is the value of these and are they normal capacitors?
When I measure mine with a multi meter, it says 16.4 micro farad, both.
Also if I need to replace the pokey chip, where can I get one? Is there a guide how to fix any sound issues?
Many thanks for your help, I wouldn't start a new topic on this if I had found the answer. Been looking for a few hours now and didn't get very far.
Edit, it's a four port if it makes a difference.
