Question from Jeff: Hello,
Great youtube channel and great web site. I was hoping you could help me
out.
I have a fairchild channel f videogame console (from 1976) and it turns on
for about 10 seconds than it turns off.
I replaced the power supply with a new one (new from fairchild says it
works with my system) and it is still doing the same thing.
When its on it works perfectly.
Also, after it turns off I can’t get it to come on for at least 24 hours,
if that helps.
I know your an arcade channel but was hoping you experience could point me
in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Response from Tim: Jeff I would have guessed power supply but since you have ruled that out. On the main board I would replace any of the capacitors to see if that takes care of the issues.
