Just picked up a 1978 Atari Avalanche which is not working, the monitor fires up but I am not getting anything from the game board. There is +5 vdc getting to the board but nothing shows on the monitor and when you try to coin it up nothing happens and no sound. I usually work on monitors so the game pcb is something I don't usual work on, so where should I start? Since it is a old game it will be hard to find a replacement PCB so I have to fix this one. Please help. I have looked at the pcb and there are no obvious signs of damage, traces all look good. There is a 4ohm 10 watt wire wound resistor on the board that gets smoking hot for what reason I don't know.
