Hi, in this video I attempt to repair a faulty Atari Jaguar which has no display on a TV. This was sent to me by Mike from 1up Gaming.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this ‘Trying to FIX’ series.
Many thanks, Vince.

Atari is known for doing fixes on-the-fly such as the wire and whatever those yellow things are
My sega cd does the same thing
that is the corupted rom screen
Vince you are the best youtuber in the world I love you so much tysm for your efforts you put into your vids
Yep I remember those slotted games were a real problem where the receptical would be the issue from corrosion and or Oxidation to soldering joint problems because of the force it takes to insert and remove the cartridge . you've fixed it by cleaning it wayda go there Vince…
Also You probably have a NTSC model where you have PAL for tuning the RF is set to NTSC which is why your TV doesn't work on RF out put
I can explain why the Jaguar appears on multiple channels with poor quality and one with good quality, whereas the Sega Genisis doesnt – cheap ass rf modulator. The RF modulator is the thing with the 3 pins and screw adjustment you were playing with toward the end of the video. if it is cheap (as a cost cutting measure) it won't have filters in it to suppress harmonics of the main frequency it is outputting. The Sega Genisis obviously has a higher quality modulator that has harmonic suppression 🙂
Oh no… that game!!
Where did you learn to fly?
Hi Vince have you ever considered making a repro cart for the Jaguar?
2 b or not 2b will it work that is the question ?
Ntsc is north america.
