Vic (1) stopped working suddenly whilst play Arknoid, crashing then going to a black screen...I am wondering if using the WiModem from Cbmstuff.com could be damaging to my Vics as it displays a slight flickering and false joystick inputs seem to affect the megacart menu at bootup which doesn't seem right. Also, the mega-cart seems to have been affected as I had to reinstall SJLOAD. I was even begining to suspect Ray's power supply at one stage.
On the plus side, the VIC that I thought was broken (2) - flickering black screen at power-up has started working again after several attempts at powering up. Seems to be worse the longer it's been left switched off. I am wondering if there could be a capacitor that needs replacing?
So now I am back to Vic (2) but this seems to have louder and more distorted sounds - any way this can be attenuated internally to clean it up a bit?
I can confirm that with the Wimodem and the Megacart plugged in together the startup is wierd. False joystick input occurs with my setup and it always enters the World at War cartridge menu.
