I suspect it has something to do with the power as I can't get anything to show up on screen, its a 6-switch woody. Is there anyone who wants this or can help me fix it?

Have you tried a different power supply?
There's a link in the sticky's to a listing of power supplies and alternatives.
I got an alternative Atari power supply at Radio Shack.

I had a broken one of these. Like many other things, if the power supply is the correct kind and is working, then your problem is probably a dead voltage regulator.

If it's an original Atari power supply - they are utter shite. Definitely try a different power supply first.
