I recently got at 2600 for my dad for Xmas. Today I took it out of the box and hooked it up to make sure everything worked before I gave it to him. Sadly everything did not work. The only game I have is Asteroids which is his favorite. I have a 55inch LCD TV. The way I have the 2600 set up is i have the 2600 plugged into the little switcher thing that came with it then I plug the coaxial into the back of my VCR which is then plugged in via AV cords. Now at first the problem was nothing at all showing up, not a blank screen just the blue screen the VCR does when nothing is on. I then cleaned the 2600 ports and everything (which turned out they were pretty dirty) and also the Asteroids game. I then changed my VCR settings from Cable to Antenna. Now the problem I have is when I turn on the 2600 I can see Asteroids for like half a second. Then it goes blank. Then it goes to the blue VCR screen. How can I fix this? or am I just out of luck and need to get a new one?
