Hi all,
     Yesterday I received an atari 2600 along with the synthcart and all other necessary equipment to run the atari.  Unfortunately, I have been unable to run the synthcart program due to an unknown problem.  Here's a video of what happens when I turn on the atari. 

To Note: Besides from the 2-lined screen, and the Blackscreen, much more obscure graphical glitches occur randomly when I turn on the atari.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Has anything else played properly on this system?  You might just need to clean the cartridge slot on the system if no other games are working.

The seller told me it worked perfectly before he shipped it.  How should I clean the slot?

Hrms, perhaps you want to have a conversation with the seller then.  If that doesn't help, this webpage might: http://www.leftylimbo.com/2010/04/clean … tari-2600/

Good luck!

Looks like one of the contacts is not connecting correctly.  Synthcart is a little picky.
