I got a z-tack a few months back in a bigger lot for 50 bucks. 1020662[/snapback] NTSC or PAL? 1020665[/snapback] Well I havn't had a chance to check and make sure it was NTSC... I'll check thou. After looking for the auction I paid $100 with the console so I didn't think it was a bad score. The only thing wrong with the console was the rf cable connector was cut. z-tack auction Edited February 19, 2006 by jay2068 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay2068 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well.. I tried it and all I get is vertical color lines. Does this make it PAL or just defunct? It does have a small capacitor on it. Would that make it not work if it was a bad cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a picture of the small capacitor? I've never handled a Bomb cart before and would love to see what you are talking about.

jay2068 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 here you go: The cap is a 100uf 10v What can I do to bring it back to life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I had no idea that it wasn't in a shell. I thought it was visible through an open-ended shell or something. I'm guessing you tried cleaning it with rubbing alcohol etc. Whatever you do be careful with that chip. I'm leaving it to the more technical minded for advice, as I have never seen a capacitor on a chip like this before. I can't tell from your pic if it says Z-Tack or not anywhere on it. You are sure it is though, Jay? Do you just know it's Z-Tack from the auction listing or did you score a manual or something? Inquiring minds want to know. BTW that chip is awesome. I love seeing different stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it says P then it is PAL. The Bomb carts have a very bad reputation for not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariAger Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hey Jay, It should say right on it...there should be a P or N I believe...with some numbers after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay2068 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I do have the shell for the game. I took it apart. The chip itself says: 2332c BOMB CA283P 1783 The label on the back of the cart is there but it's to worn to tell. I'm thinking from the 'BOMB CA283P' the P stands for PAL?!?!?

They must have used a very cheap manufacturer. I have seen dozens of dead BOMB carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Likewise. Unfortunately Bomb carts have amongst the highest failure rates, probably up there with Playaround carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
