Broken Odyssey 2

[coreys429]

I have 3 Odyssey 2's. All of them broken. They'll turn on but no picture or scrambled picture. I have a new cable running to the tv and from the box. One has a loose power connection and the other 2 dont have the rf shield. I was wondering if there is anyway to fix them.

I'll try to help, but just a couple questions first.

Do you have both the TV and the systems set at channel 3? There's a switch on the inside to set to channel 3 or 4.

When you say RF shield, do you mean the white RF switchbox outside the system, or do you mean the metal inside the system?

Mine had very bad reception until I performed this easy mod, which gets rid of the white RF box:

let me look at them today when I see you. There might be an easy fix that will get them working. I will test the one odyssey 2 you gave me, that one looks like it will work.

You have already cleaned the games and the cartridge slot on the unit? They tend to get dirty after 30 years. :)

First, make sure you are using the proper power supply for the O2 game. It's an AC output supply, not DC, but I believe you can use a 9v 500ma DC positive tip like an Atari 2600 supply in a pinch.
