Title: Vectrex not working correctly
Post by: shaggy on October 17, 2015, 09:58:34 PM
Well, I finally got my Vectrex from my wife's parents and it isn't working correctly.  I can play Mine Storm (the built in game) with no problem.  When I put a cartridge in the slot and turn it on it just plays Mine Storm, it doesn't boot the cartridge up.  It worked before taking it over to my wife's parents.  I'm guessing something with the contacts?  Any idea on how to fix it?

Get in there and clean the contacts real good on both the cart and game slot. You can try that with the credit card + paper towel moistened with alcohol trick.

I'd definitely blame the contacts as well. You're welcome to contact Vectorguy - I'm sure he'd know.
