LeeJ07 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 As you can see in the video below, my 2600 is making a horrible buzzing sound. What's causing it? I've tried everything I can think of to make it go away, but nothing works. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Maybe a higher quality rf cable...or a ferrite ckoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Try plugging your 2600's power supply in a different outlet. Preferably in an outlet that is not being shared with any other electrical device. It almost sounds like an electrical interference of some sort. The "buzz" sounds like the power transformer inside your power supply as that is almost the buzzing sound they make. Moving the power supply to a different outlet usually helps.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Also, if you have another TV you can use try your 2600 on another TV and see if you get that buzz. Doing that and not getting the buzz would be a good way to eliminate the possibility of the TV being at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Have you done anything to check your connections and the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think that I've mentioned this before, but aside from the ac adaptor and trying a new cable or ferrite, you might also consider replacing the 5v regulator and .1uf capacitor.
