I got a colecovisoion as an add in to a system I bought and recently when I went to play it the following happened.

I put any of the 5 carts I have in and all I get is a black screen.

The RF unit I am using works for my Atari so I think that is good. The A/V cable I bought from Atari2600.com. the power cord did come with the system. After doing a little searching I found this old thread

Where is says that it could be the power switch.

I was hoping that someone might have some suggestions or advice esp if they have had a similar problem in the past.

Also if there is a cleaning guide if someone would link me to it it would be great (I will search again but Colecvision +cleaning did not turn up much).


Thanks in advance to all.
