Hello, i recently got an Atari 2600 Jr and it was working perfectly for a few days but now it always displays a black screen with a few tiny white dots regardless of what game is put in. It also makes the same continuous buzzing type sound. I am putting the RF cord into a Coax adapter to go into the TV (no switch box). I tried the same adapter and cord on my Sega Genesis and the picture was perfect and worked fine. I am worried that my system itself is broken. I have tried channels 2 and 3 and have the same results. Sometimes if I switch on my TV to the channel the Atari is not set to I will get these wavy white lines (so if Atari is set to 3 and TV goes to 2), not sure if there is any significance in that. Also, the power adapter does slightly spark when plugged in so I am pretty sure it is working.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? I used some compressed air and tried it on both a CRT and an LCD to make sure it wasn't TV specific.
